The primary objective of IU-Roybal is to facilitate research to improve support and education for self-management among vulnerable older adults cared for by generalist physicians.

Our Pilot Core strategy consists of:

• Identifying and developing research initiatives that can translate and evaluate models of chronic disease self-management education and support,
• Facilitating research that can be integrated into real-world clinical practice and into systems of care for older adults,
• Responding to community needs and local opportunities for collaboration,
• Funding research that represents pathways to dissemination and knowledge utilization, and
• Producing critical pilot project data that enables a principal investigator to develop an R01-type application
