The Institute defines healthy longevity and resilience as the capacity of people and the systems around them to anticipate, withstand, adapt to, and recover from changes and stressors while preserving physical, cognitive, mental, and social well-being; functional ability; dignity; autonomy; connection; and fairness across the life course.
The Institute’s four interconnected Hubs - Healthy Longevity and Life-course Resilience; Earth Systems and Urban Resilience; Longevity Finance, Silver Economy, and Social Resilience; and Health Technology - will develop interdisciplinary faculty teams, portfolios of competitive proposals and strategic research partnerships, shared methods and data resources, student and postdoctoral opportunities, real-world research settings, policy products, and responsible external collaborations. Data science, computational methods, and digital technologies will provide shared capabilities across all four hubs.
The four hubs:
| Hub | Core scope |
|---|---|
| 1. Healthy Longevity and Life-course Resilience | Physical, cognitive, mental, and social well-being; healthy longevity; prevention; resilience-building; functional ability; chronic disease and multimorbidity; caregiving; and health equity. |
| 2. Earth Systems and Urban Resilience | Extreme heat and other environmental hazards; age-friendly and climate-ready neighborhoods; housing, mobility, green space, infrastructure, service continuity, and urban governance. |
| 3. Longevity Finance, Silver Economy, and Social Resilience | Long-term care, retirement, insurance, household financial security, later-life work, caregiving systems, consumer and market behavior, digital platforms, healthcare operations, longevity markets, consumer protection, and sustainable policy and business models. |
| 4. Health Technology | Age-inclusive AI, data science, digital health, assistive care, accessibility, safety, bias, privacy, human oversight, adoption, and implementation. The Hub also serves as a cross-cutting enabling capability for the other three Hubs. |
