Research Centres
MIRA’s Research Centres connect diversely skilled researchers and trainees around the most pressing questions in aging.
Responsive, Engaged, Ambitious
Much of MIRA’s support to research flows through our two focused research centres — the Labarge Centre for Mobility in Aging (LCMA) and the MIRA | Dixon Hall Centre. At these centres, diverse research skillsets, critical resources and the insights of knowledge users crystalize as bold research.
The Labarge Centre for Mobility in Aging (LCMA), examines the biological, behavioural, technological and environmental factors that can affect individual and community mobility in older adults.
Formed in partnership with Dixon Hall — a multi-service agency supporting older adults — the centre is enhancing research with, and services for, older adults living in the community.
