Organize and conduct three to five topically-based action learning collaboratives to address “next generation” issues such as continuous quality improvement, infrastructure and technology, generating and maintaining volume, data pooling, and more; and to provide targeted technical assistance to networks of community-based aging and disability organizations.
Create knowledge and capture insights through these collaboratives to incorporate into future curriculum for national dissemination.
