Research Collaborative

The National Alliance for Caregiving Research Collaborative (NAC-RC) is a hub for connecting multiple disciplines and sectors of family caregiving experts through coordinated research opportunities and learning initiatives. The Research Collaborative includes over 60 members representing a national network of family caregiving researchers that touch on the various economic, social, and cultural needs and concerns of caregivers across the lifespan and across conditions.   Connecting various fields and sectors, the Research Collaborative focuses on translating research into advocacy and innovation for sustainable impact.

The mission of the NAC-RC is to catalyze collaboration across various disciplines of family caregiving research (e.g., healthcare, economics, public health) to influence and promote policies and programs designed to improve the lives of family caregivers across the lifespan.
