The Research Partners Network is composed of senior living settings, community and home-based services, other agencies and programs that are geriatric-specific and interested in the advancement of knowledge and adoption of best practices to promote optimal care and adaptive function among older adults. They advance rapid uptake of Csomay Center supported research projects by:

• Providing clear communication pathways to discuss research participation options with Csomay staff;
• Rapidly evaluating the “fit” of research proposals/ideas offered relevant to current needs and demands;
• Collaborating in research that matches organizational needs and issues; and
• Assisting in the identification of barriers and facilitators that advance research implementation in community settings.
