Fellowship Project Summary

FL250100028 – Transforming understanding of cognitive ageing: Bridging the lab-life gap

Professor Henry aims to improve understanding of how cognitive function affects older adults’ ability to manage everyday tasks. This project will use innovative methods to assess real-world cognitive performance and develop resources to support independence in later life. The research will help older Australians remain socially connected, active in the workforce, and able to live independently. It will also inform public policy and contribute to national strategies for healthy ageing. By establishing the Global Research in Ageing, Cognition and Ergonomics (GRACE) Alliance, the project will build Australia’s capacity and reputation in ageing research.
