New research funding

Dr Michael Murray has won funding from the Centre for Ageing Research and Development in Ireland, to establish a cross-border research network that will explore healthy ageing in rural communities. The network will draw on interdisciplinary expertise in the areas of gerontology, spatial planning, rural geography, economics, social care, and public health. The other partners are the Irish Centre for Social Gerontology and the Geography Department at the National University of Ireland Galway, The Centre for Clinical and Population Sciences at Queen’s University Belfast, and the Rural Community Network.
