# Core C. External Innovative Network Core

## Abstract

Project Description (Core C): The objective of Core C is to provide support for ongoing development of five
external innovative research networks. Three networks continue activities initiated in the last grant cycle related
to aging in Latin America, aging in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and the interrelations between migration, health
and aging. Two networks are newly proposed for the next cycle: first, a Global Family Change (GFC) network
that provides overarching global research on family change and aging, thereby providing fundamental compar-
ative research informing multiple PARC themes about the implications of ongoing transformations of society’s
most fundamental building block – the family – for health, well-being and social support of older persons; second,
a network, PICANTES, that is related to two newly-proposed PARC signature themes on Cognition and Alz-
heimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) and Health Care and Long-Term Care at Older Ages. All five
networks will enhance interdisciplinary and innovative aging research, not only at PARC but nationally and inter-
nationally, with important outreach activities that will encourage and nurture development of younger research-
ers, including from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Each network includes workshops, collaboration
(also pilot projects), harmonization of large-scale data collection efforts, and the development of common re-
sources. There is deliberate overlap among the five networks in terms of PARC investigators, substance, and
geographic areas of interest, leading to complementarities and synergies among PARC Networks and/or PARC
Research Themes.
