Grant Overview
Minnesota is known for its high quality of life, but the state's aging population faces significant challenges in maintaining social connections. Research has shown that Minnesota seniors are at risk of social isolation, particularly in rural areas where community resources are limited. ## Capacity Gaps in Minnesota This funding opportunity aims to support research that addresses these challenges and promotes innovative social connection programs. By understanding the capacity gaps in Minnesota's aging services infrastructure, researchers can develop scalable models that facilitate interaction and community building. Minnesota's strong network of community organizations and senior centers provides a solid foundation for supporting social connections among older adults. However, the state's rural areas face significant workforce shortages, with 25% of Minnesota's rural counties having no geriatricians. This funding opportunity prioritizes research that addresses these capacity gaps and develops effective solutions for supporting Minnesota seniors. Minnesota's unique cultural context, which includes a significant Native American population, requires research that is tailored to the state's specific needs and demographics. Unlike neighboring states, Minnesota has a distinct aging services infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on community-based care.
