A major step in making collaboration between seniors, academic researchers, and community researchers a reality.

Many aging adults are motivated to undertake research projects in later life or even return to university after retirement. Grey Matters is a guide for researchers and seniors to develop effective collaborative research strategies.

The result of a successful pilot project, Grey Matters uses tested techniques to provide a helpful framework for developing research projects by and with seniors. Intended both for seniors interested in undertaking their own research and for those hoping to involve seniors in collaboration, it covers practical topics including narrative interviews, focus groups, survey techniques, and more.
