National Initiative for the Care of the Elderly (NICE) is an international network of researchers, practitioners and students dedicated to improving the care of older adults in Canada and abroad. What makes this non-profit unique is that it supports evidence-based interdisciplinary research, knowledge transfer, student mentorship, and international network engagement with the goal to improve care for older adults.
In addition to pushing forward research projects in the field of aging (click here to view the project page), NICE operates through a network of theme teams and committees committed to putting research into practice. The theme teams examine evidenced-based literature to create user-friendly pocket tools which can be disseminated in inter-professional and community contexts. The committees explore golden standards, push for curricula development, and encourage students in the field of life course and aging. These bodies include researchers, students and practitioners from several disciplines to emphasize the importance of inter-disciplinary activities to create positive change in the field of aging.
