<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Ross and Joann – <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings to you both. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you are aware, our department was involved in the development of a gerontology database of programs in the US. As noted in the article on the GSA website and on the UNO Gerontology website, the focus was on gerontology programs only.
I did not have our Champions of Aging or Research Assistant include Aging Studies program in the listing. We tried to keep this separate as the information is of interest – particularly to programs, like ours, that still retain gerontology as its name.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I understand people have learned about the database through a message sent out via the GSA Connect Gerontology Directors listserv. Do either of you still have this message? I would welcome the opportunity to see it so we can understand
what has been communicated and work to address any misunderstanding. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also – we may want to explore how to add Aging Studies to our listing when I can find the funding to support this additional work. To our knowledge, there is no other comprehensive database available of this nature. We believe it is of
benefit to us all. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is worth noting, this project was funded entirely in-house. It took 100+ hours for the team to go through each state to identify programs doing various web searches. The team acknowledges there could be errors – but hopefully they are
few and far between.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for your help and for contributing updates.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Take good care – Julie. <o:p></o:p></p>
