The GWCI is a proponent of capturing data to drive decisions for programs and initiatives. The leadership of GWCI has been trained and certified through the CITI Program in the research of human subjects following the principles of Federal Rule 45 CFR Part 46 generally known as the Common Rule which was designed to protect our most vulnerable citizens. Our team is seeking to conduct research projects that focus on traditional and newly identified vulnerable populations to identify causation to barriers that prevent access to a quality of life that supports the physical and mental well being. GWCI is an age-friendly organization adhering to the principles of the WHO Global Network for Communities and Cities.
