Kathryn Nearing, PhD, MA
Kathryn (Kady) is an Associate Professor in the Division of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. She is the PI of a National Institute on Aging R24 (research infrastructure) award focused on increasing the inclusion of older adults in clinical trials to improve health care and health outcomes for older adult populations. The two aims focus on 1) training and promoting the hiring of older adults to serve as Older Adult Research Specialists supporting the recruitment and retention of peers in clinical research, and 2) conducting Research Roadshows across Colorado to provide older adults fun experiential opportunities to engage with research and research teams. Kady also serves as the Associate Director for Education and Evaluation for the VA Eastern Colorado Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center – a VA center of excellence focused on aging. For the GRECC, Kady directs a health professions training program, mentors Advanced Research Fellows and coordinates and facilitates the Older Veteran Engagement Team – a group of 9 Veterans and one caregiver. Members, age 65-95, provide essential feedback and input on aging-related research and clinical innovation projects to enhance services and supports for older Veterans and caregivers.
