Administrative Structure
The administrators of the Institute on Aging are:
Neil M. Resnick, MD
Director
Richard Schulz, PhD
Associate director
Shikha Iyengar
Administrative director
An advisory board guides the Institute on Aging, with
input from the University of Pittsburgh's Council on Aging and three
advisory councils that help develop, enhance, and link institute programs:
Clinical Advisory Council
The members of this council are regional experts who provide medical
care to older adults. These experts report on care currently available,
gaps in care, and ways in which the institute's research, educational,
and clinical resources can be used to help patients and clients. The
Clinical Advisory Council also suggests ways to enhance access to UPMC
and community health care services for older adults.
Research Advisory Council
The Research Advisory Council identifies new research opportunities.
Council members are particularly interested in research that involves
multidisciplinary collaboration. To facilitate research, council members
help establish links among researchers, clinical sites, and data. In
addition, the council provides research assistance in regard to grant
applications, subject recruitment, and seminars.
Educational Advisory Council
University curricula and nonacademic continuing education courses and
programs are the focus of the Educational Advisory Council. Council
members work with the University of Pittsburgh to evaluate, develop,
and enhance academic courses and programs (internships, residencies,
and fellowships) and other curricula in the fields of geriatrics, gerontology,
and health services.
