The Robert L. Kane Endowed Chair in Long-Term Care and Aging Chair
The Robert L. Kane Endowed Chair in Long-Term Care and Aging Chair (Joseph E. Gaugler, PhD) is to advance scientific excellence in long-term care and aging that shapes the practice, policy and pedagogy of these critical areas of focus. The core objective of the chair is to invest in people to expand the University of Minnesota’s capacity in aging scholarship, education, practice and community engagement. Among the key initiatives the chair is currently supporting includes the following:
- A scholarship to support University of Minnesota graduate students in professional degree programs who are committed to working in long-term care (The Robert L. Kane Scholarship of Excellence in Long-Term Care);
- Two-year post-doctoral fellowships in aging, dementia and long-term care (The Robert L. Kane Postdoctoral Fellowship);
- A one-year appointment to support a faculty member’s research and scholarship in aging (The Fesler-Lampert Chair in Aging Studies);
- An annual lecture featuring distinguished scholars in long-term care and aging science (The Robert L. Kane Memorial Lecture); and
- An annual community education conference that provides information, support and education for adult children, spouses, parents, health and community care providers and others concerned with caring for persons with memory loss (The Caring for a Person with Memory Loss Conference).
