NIA Research Proposal to Create a Virtual Long-Term Care @ Home Program Shortlisted to Receive Inaugural Hunter Prize for Public Policy

NIA Health Research and Policy Manager Dr. Ashley Flanagan and Associate Fellow Dr. Kristina Kokorelias have been shortlisted for the inaugural Hunter Prize for Public Policy. They are among 10 finalists selected from nearly 200 entries for their proposal to create a virtual long-term care (LTC) at-home program. The winners will be announced in September.

The NIA’s Hunter Prize proposal on “Bringing LTC Home” explores compelling evidence and potential benefits of a Virtual Long-Term Care @ Home Program. Offering dedicated funding for teams of local care providers to flexibly deliver a mix of care and support services will allow more LTC-eligible individuals to live in their own homes longer and will reduce the need for LTC home admissions.
