Resilience and Aging Physical resilience declines with age as revealed by the decrease in the ability of an organism’s molecular, cellular, and systemic levels to return to homeostasis after exposure to a stressor. This decline might contribute to the emergence of clinically relevant diseases and conditions observed with aging. This workshop will explore two topics: (1) possible stressors and responses as metrics of resilience; (2) whether such metrics in midlife may be predictors of later-life healthspan and even lifespan. The 2022 premeeting report will be published open access with Journals of Gerontology Biological Sciences, one of GSA’s scientific journals (Anderson Co-Editor in Chief), to ensure broad dissemination to the research community at large. |

Health and Retirement Study: New Data on Genetics, Biomarkers, Covid-19, and Life History The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) is a large and complex panel study of the population over age 50. This workshop will provide guidance on the basic design and content of the study and use of the data. Presentations will also provide in-depth coverage on new data resources in genetics and life histories as well as recently added content on responses to COVID-19. New genetic data resources include APOE and serotonin transporter alleles, polygenic risk scores, candidate genes, and epigenetic clocks. New life history data resources provide detailed information on experiences in child and young adulthood including residences, education, partnerships, jobs, and caregiving. COVID-19 data include direct experience of COVID-19 and effects of the stimulus payments and of COVID-19 on health care access, work and business, living arrangements, and caregiving. Research examples will illustrate how the data can be used in gerontological research. |

Teaching about Aging through the Lens of the Arts and Humanities As the field of gerontology embraces competency-based education and the AGHE Gerontology Competencies for Undergraduate and Graduate Education celebrate seven years of implementation, educators little training or experience applying the humanities to their pedagogy may be unsure of how to teach students strategies to synthesize multiple ways of knowing, including the myriad forms of richness humanities perspectives can provide. Similarly, humanities faculty may not immediately think of aging or the experience of being older as a useful lens through which to teach their content. Drawing on presenters with different levels of knowledge and expertise in various humanities-based approaches to understanding aging, we designed this workshop to serve those newly approaching this perspective and those with more extensive knowledge and experience of humanities and aging. We will share knowledge, expand participants’ repertoire of resources for classes, consider how to incorporate faculty and scholarship from arts and humanities into gerontology/geriatrics programs (and vice-versa), conceptualize/develop new courses or modify existing courses with humanities and content, and facilitate faculty members guiding students to think critically about the ways cultural representations of aging serve to reinforce or counter ageism. |

Using the National Health and Aging Trends Study to Study Late-Life Disability, Dementia and Care The proposed workshop is designed for new users and those who want to learn more about using the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) and the National Study of Caregiving (NSOC). The workshop will provide an overview of the study design and content of NHATS and NSOC. The workshop will cover study content on disability, dementia, and caregiving as well as supplemental content on COVID-19. Presenters will introduce user resources available through the NHATS website including annotated instruments, content documentation, and technical papers. More advanced topics, such as weighting, survey design adjustments, sub-population analysis (e.g., analysis for different race / ethnicity groups), and using metadata will also be covered. An interactive session will answer users’ questions and provide analysis advice. |

Reimagining 'Productive Aging' for a Post-COVID World: Critical Reflections and New Directions The Sloan Research Network on Aging & Work and the Grand Challenge to Advance Long and Productive Lives will conduct a workshop focused on gaining a better understanding of the social contexts that support choice and opportunity in later life in terms of retirement, carework and community engagement in a post-COVID world. Workshop participants will be challenged to think critically, and from an intersectional lens, about how social inequalities over the life course shape these later life choices and opportunities. They will then engage in a vision-generating session to reimagine the terrain of research on paid and unpaid work in later life/productive aging and set an agenda for new research, practices, and policies. The discussion will lead to the identification of topics and potential authors to be included in a Handbook on Productive Aging that focuses on critical and intersectional perspectives and new directions. |

Pathways to Equity-Based Aging Research and Practice While solutions to address barriers to equity-based research and clinical practice are forthcoming, “real” progress is taking place and researchers and clinicians are at the forefront of this change. This workshop will convene advanced students and early career researchers, practitioners, and advocates interested in addressing epistemic harm that can be perpetuated through research and practice. Participants will broaden their perspectives on new and emerging trends in equity-based research and practice, which will highlight how addressing these trends can assist in recalibrating their research programs and clinical practice. This interactive workshop will include small group sessions with diverse speakers who will share their experiences with incorporating an equity lens in their research design and clinical practice, working with community stakeholders, non-harmful reporting of research findings, and grant mechanisms that have been successful in furthering their research careers. In addition, the workshop will foster networking and building connections among participants and panelists. |

Pragmatic Intervention Trials with Diverse Older Adults Given the underrepresentation of diverse populations of older adults in many traditional clinical trials, there is an increasing need to improve the awareness of and skills necessary to conduct pragmatic clinical trials. This pre-conference represents a collaborative endeavor of the Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research together with the Health Care Systems Research Network-Older Americans Independence Centers AGING Initiative. It will focus on the pragmatic clinical trial as an exemplar of an innovative research design that can foster the performance of trials in real world settings, with representative patient populations, and outcome measures that “matter most” to patients and caregivers. Leaders of funded projects will describe how they applied pragmatic trial principles in study design and implementation. The advantages and challenges of conducting pragmatic clinical trials with diverse populations of older adults, including those living with Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease related dementias (AD/ADRD), will be discussed. |

Creating a Public Resource: O*NET Job Characteristics Dataset for Use with the Health and Retirement This workshop will describe the new O*NET-Census 2010 data linkage, give researchers an overview of what the O*NET measures are and why they are useful for scholars in aging, and provide examples using the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). This new O*NET dataset uses an occupation codeframe (Census 2010) often used in general population survey data, and provides new opportunities for scientific advances that may promote more equitable work environments and later-life health and wellbeing. We describe what kinds of measures are in this new dataset and how they offer value in measuring work behaviors relative to more subjective measures. Presentations will describe the complexities of linking these O*NET measures with general population survey data, how the linkage is created, and how these data may be used. As an application, this session will discuss the HRS O*NET linkage and its potential uses. |

Patient/Person Engagement in Research: Embracing Diversity Many approaches to patient engagement exist. Models range from single session consultation to team science including patient/person co-leadership. Likewise, engagement can be used in any single or all stages of research. Engagement can also be used to address the whole of the research plan or focused on a single issue, such as participant recruitment. Funding applications often refer to the section detailing this detail as the "Engagement Plan." In this workshop, experienced engaged researchers use their projects with older adults (Rachel Lessem and Katherine Abbott), people living with dementia (Martina Roes), and rural persons (Carol Geary) to introduce engagement approaches. Experienced patient partners will also be available to consult with participants on their own research plans. At the conclusion of this half-day workshop, participants will be prepared to apply learnings to the development of an appropriate patient engagement plan for their own research. |
