AHRQ has awarded a 5-year, $10 million grant to the University of Wisconsin for community-based research on the use of communication and information technologies to improve the health and health care services for older adults. The grant aims to create a center of excellence that brings together research teams from various institutions and entities of the aging network. The research will focus on 3 broad themes:

· Using information technologies to extend independence and functioning of older adults and reduce unnecessary health care utilizations.

· Expanding service networks that place individuals and their families at the center.

· Developing innovative approaches to translate evidence into practice.
