Mission Statement

|
The focus of the
proposed Measurement, Statistics, and Research Methods informal interest
group at Gerontological Society of America (GSA) is on quantitative research
methodology in gerontology. The
specific aims of the group are to: (1) encourage interest in, development of,
and the appropriate application of measurement, statistics, and design among
gerontology researchers; (2) disseminate and highlight research findings
illustrating advanced, recently developed, or innovative statistical
procedures, measurement issues, and rigorous research design through
symposia, presentations, and/or pre-conference workshops at the GSA Annual
Meeting. The group plans to organize
and sponsor at least one symposium proposal each year; (3) promote and circulate information on
job opportunities, grant announcements, fellowships and job positions, and
publication opportunities when relevant to the focus of the interest group;
(4) exchange information, discuss, and promote collaboration on recent
developments in measurement, statistics, and research methods in
gerontological research among members of the interest group. |
