This webinar, jointly organized with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), will provide an overview of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) for researchers and trainees.
With an introduction by Yves Joanette, scientific director of the CIHR Institute of Aging, and presented by Dr. Lauren Griffith, associate scientific director of the CLSA, the presentation will review the platform design and data collection process, describe the available data, and explain the data access application process for researchers, including graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
