Purpose

The CAG believes that longitudinal studies are an important element in the evidence base for understanding the processes involved in ageing, from both a health and a social perspective. They have particular advantages in their ability to examine multiple exposures, determinants and outcomes, and to measure relationships over time.

Criteria

  • A scholar or student who has demonstrated excellence in conducting a research project using longitudinal data related to aging or who has published a peer reviewed paper, book chapter or book using longitudinal data in aging,
  • Is recognized by members of the Association as having demonstrated excellence in longitudinal research related to aging, as evident in letters of support, and
  • Is a member of the Canadian Association on Gerontology.
