IHA is a UAHS-led, UArizona-wide, collaborative network focused on finding solutions to the grand challenges of optimal aging. IHA’s aim is to position UArizona Health Sciences and UArizona as the leading institutions nationally and internationally in aging and the go-to organizations for healthy aging.

The current IHA call is soliciting proposals from interdisciplinary UArizona teams to contribute their expertise to “Living Labs” with the goal of testing the impact of environmental factors on healthy aging and wellbeing outcomes (outcomes include but are not limited to physiological, biochemical (biomarker), behavioral, social and/or emotional outcomes), studies that seek to implement ongoing health assessment and improve self-management of chronic conditions.

For the purposes of the IHA Living Labs seed grants opportunity, any existing space that can be equipped with sensors, or any technology that allows for manipulation of one or more environmental elements, in order to test its impacts on health outcomes, is appropriate for use as a Living Lab.

Proposals must foster collaborative efforts between faculty in the health sciences and other disciplines and UArizona colleges and/or on other UArizona campuses.

In addition, IHA supports the excellence of UArizona’s early-career investigators and thus strongly encourages early-career faculty with novel research ideas to apply to this opportunity.

A panel of relevant experts will review the proposals. Funding decisions will be made by Nov. 19, 2021. The funding period will be Nov. 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022.
