Aging Research Centre

About

The Aging Research Centre – Newfoundland and Labrador (ARC-NL) is focused on promoting and co-ordinating research related to aging that is relevant to Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. n
Newfoundland and Labrador has a rapidly aging population and has one of the highest proportions of older adults in Canada. In that context, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has a high priority on health and social issues related to later life and recognizes research as being critical to effective policy making.

ARC-NL will build relationships with researchers, encourage students to pursue aging-related research, offer grants and fellowships to support the research, and share that research with the public, particularly our older population.

ARC-NL is located within the Grenfell Campus with a satellite office in St. John’s. The Centre is led by a Core Leadership Team including a Director. There is a Management Board that provides oversight on key administrative, strategic, policy and financial matters. There is also an Advisory Council comprised of community members and representatives from stakeholder organizations.
