Another Look, run by The Donaghue Foundation, supports health-related research with near-term potential to improve health, well-being, and the quality and equity of care for adults aged 65 and older. It welcomes work across institutional, residential, home-based, and community-based settings, including nursing homes, other long-term care facilities, assisted living, memory care, family-supported home care, and Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).
The program emphasizes using existing datasets to produce findings useful to care delivery and policy. Stakeholders help define research questions and protocols or develop practical products, such as infographics, toolkits, and training materials. Some new data collection is permitted when it enhances the usefulness of project outcomes for improving care quality and equity.
