Collaborations

Collaborate with us

Our researchers work with partners to conduct multi-disciplinary research on challenges facing older people in Singapore today. 

We invite interested investigators from Singapore’s healthcare clusters, policy bodies, community spaces and the academia to join us as scientists or collaborators. Participation of students, postdoctoral fellows and research faculty at all levels are also welcomed. 

By partnering with GERI, you gain access to our expertise in:

• Implementation Research: Using an integrated knowledge translation approach to accelerate the implementation of research findings to bridge the research-practice-policy gap

• Evidence Review: Gathering and synthesising current research to understand the evidence to inform research-relevant topics 

• Programme Evaluation: Examining the economics, process, and outcomes of programmes

• Health Policy Contribution: Producing evidence-based research to inform policy-relevant questions for Singapore’s ageing population

What our partners say

“It has been a pleasure working with GERI’s talented researchers for the Help Optimise and Mobilise Elders project on inpatient mobility. The collaboration has been a very positive and complementary one. While I provided the ideas and clinical expertise as a geriatrician, the GERI team is well-versed in research methods such as both qualitative and quantitative data analysis, interviews, as well as in administrative aspects. The team has been supportive and approachable, and I look forward to working with them again for future projects!”

“Being able to connect with key partners and stakeholders to cross share latest developments related to ageing in Singapore, as well as exchange ideas and learnings through the Knowledge to Practice webinars has been very helpful. We are thankful for the strong partnership with GERI and look forward to more opportunities to work together.”

“GERI has a very robust and supportive research team and provided ample assistance and good communication where needed for each step, from co-designing the protocol, to the application of the research grant, Domain Specific Review Board application, preparation of research documents, training and publications. This is especially valuable for clinicians who have aspirations to conduct clinical research studies but may lack the time and expertise to do so. Such collaborations between GERI and its role as a coordinator for multi centre studies would definitely be valuable.”
