Cornell University's Aging Research Translator

The Aging Research Translator offers ". . .non-technical summaries of aging research published in peer-reviewed academic journals."

The ART website has been designed with community-based practitioners in mind. Community-based practitioners are the largest group of potential users of aging-related research, and the people most likely to apply the aging knowledge-base to the lives of real people. However, the location of research in university libraries and databases makes it difficult to access. Furthermore, the overly technical language of research articles can be an impediment. The ART website, developed by Cornell University researchers, attempts to address these challenges by posting summaries of aging research literature using non-technical language.
