The Institute's mission is to enhance the well-being of older people in North Carolina by fostering state-wide collaboration in research education, and service. Its mandate is to:
1. Promote collaborative applied and basic gerontological research
2. Develop innovative programs of interdisciplinary gerontological education and practice
3. Provide state-of-the-art information to policy makers, program managers, service providers, clinicians, and the general public.
