Caregiving in the US
Caregiving in the US (CGUS) is a comprehensive study of the American family caregiver, and it is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative data resources on family caregivers. The report explores the challenges and opportunities associated with caregiving across different populations across the lifespan. The report is a joint effort from NAC and AARP.
Research Collaborative
The National Alliance for Caregiving Research Collaborative (NAC-RC) is a hub for connecting multiple disciplines and sectors of family caregiving experts through coordinated research opportunities and learning initiatives. The Research Collaborative includes over 60 members representing a national network of family caregiving researchers that touch on the various economic, social, and cultural needs and concerns of caregivers across the lifespan and across conditions. Connecting various fields and sectors, the Research Collaborative focuses on translating research into advocacy and innovation for sustainable impact.
Special Populations
In addition to the Caregiving in the US studies, NAC has partnered with a number of stakeholders to do a βdeep diveβ of the caregiving experience facing special populations of caregivers. From Alzheimerβs to retirement, rare disease to working caregivers, NAC has taken a second look at the challenges facing caregivers across the lifespan.
Open Data Project
As part of a national effort to open data to innovators, businesses, and non-profits, the National Alliance for Caregiving is proud to provide open data sets from our national studies for others to use in their research and policy analysis.
