The Population Aging Research Center (PARC) at the University of Pennsylvania has over 30 years of experience in interdisciplinary research on the demography and economics of aging, including a focus on diverse and often underrepresented populations domestically and globally. The Population Aging Research Center (PARC) was established in 1994 with a grant from the National Institute on Aging and is situated at Penn in the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) and the Perelman School of Medicine (PSOM). PARC sponsors an annual pilot proposal competition, a weekly seminar series in conjunction with the Population Studies Center, the Penn Population Studies Colloquium where you will find out Aging Chats Series and an online working paper series, the Population Center Working Papers (PSC/PARC). The overall research themes of PARC reflect the interests and expertise of our research associates. These include: Health Care and Long-Term Care in Older Adults; Early-Life Conditions and Older Adult Health, Behavior and Well-Being; Global Health and Aging; Health Disparities In Aging; Cognition and Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD); and COVID-19 and Aging.
