The UofL Trager Institute/Republic Bank Foundation Optimal Aging Clinic provides a respected platform to share ideas and research as well as provide research support. We invite you to explore the many ways the Institute can help further your work and research in the field of aging.

The Participant Registry

The Institute manages a participant registry of older adults and families of older adults. This registry consists of individuals who have volunteered to participate in research and product testing conducted in the field of aging studies.

The registry allows the community to become actively involved with studies and innovations that can improve the health and well-being of older adults and their families.  As well, the registry enables such studies and innovations to more quickly reach the populations they are intended to help.
