Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe the opportunities and challenges in the development of a research group established to investigate and disseminate knowledge related to aging, mobility and participation. Various aspects of the research group are described, including the purpose, membership, structure, funding, communication, decision-making and a research model developed to inform research activities. Some current research and educational activities are outlined. Insights and recommendations are provided about strategies used to facilitate the development of this group, including commitment and perseverance; joint projects; designated physical space and funding for infrastructure; regular meetings, educational sessions and retreats; and an opportunity for peer support.
