Research, training, technical assistance, direct services and leadership
Most of the easy problems in the behavioral and biological sciences have been solved. Today the important problems are increasingly found and solved at the intersection of many disciplines. The Life Span Institute stands at such a convergence. At the Life Span Institute we know that our mission—to discover knowledge about human health and development—can only be achieved by problem-driven collaborations across many disciplines.
The Life Span Institute’s 13 centers and Peruvian affiliate currently have more than 100 active programs and projects that constitute basic and translational research, training, direct services, consultation and technical assistance.
Life Span Institute affiliated scientists are recognized not only by competitive funding, but by their academic peers and constituent professional groups with honors and awards each year. They serve in administrative leadership positions at the university and in their fields. They are also called on to testify and consult on public policy issues. Several principal investigators consult with business and industry as well.
