Please join the Friends of the National Institute on Aging (FoNIA) for a webinar on COVID: Opportunities and Obstacles in Aging Research and Caregiving which will explore the nexus between the COVID-19 virus and older adults. Specifically, our three panelists will discuss:
- What does data around COVID tells us about existing racial, economic and geographical health disparities;
- How aging research can be more inclusive in light of COVID exposed disparities;
- Opportunities to study care needs of older adults and their caregivers during the COVID-19 pandemic; and
- How aging impacts the effectiveness of potential COVID treatments and vaccines.
