A major part of the Margaret Bleckner Research Institute’s portfolio of research focuses on evidence-based programs, which are interventions or programs developed, tested and proven by research to achieve beneficial outcomes for consumers. MBRI also plays a leadership role in advancing knowledge about evidence-based programs by providing consultation and training to other researchers and service providers, including, for example, organizing a special issue of the journal Generations (Spring 2010) on evidence-based programs. Developing and testing evidence-based programs is fundamental to MBRI’s mission of translating research findings into useful programs and products for older adults, family caregivers, and service providers.
