Through the Aging Network Capacity Building Program, n4a provides useful data, training and resources that enhance strategic operations and business planning within AAA and Title VI programs.

AAA and Title VI Surveys

n4a partners with Scripps Gerontology Center to conduct biennial surveys of AAA and Title VI aging programs. These comprehensive surveys assess the capacity and indicate the readiness of the network to address the needs of America’s rapidly aging population. As AAAs and Title VI programs seize the challenges and opportunities of serving a changing and diverse population, these surveys provide the network with critical data that illustrate the growth, adaptation and innovation of the Aging Network.

In addition to biennial AAA and Title VI surveys, n4a and Scripps Gerontology Center partner on short, topical surveys to examine a single issue faced by AAAs. These topical surveys enhance the insight gained through the biennial surveys and provide a broader understanding of specific issues faced by AAAs such as access to long-term care and emergency preparedness planning.
