National Academy for Teaching and Learning about Aging
The mission of the National Academy for Teaching and Learning about Aging is to promote a life-span approach to increasing understanding about aging issues through education and intergenerational cooperation. Today's young people have the potential to live long productive lives in an increasingly aging society. However, they are more likely to learn about the problems than positive aspects of aging. Without deliberate educational intervention, ageist humor, literature and media will continue being the primary sources of information for young people. These sources perpetuate ageist myths and stereotypes, age discrimination and gerontophobic behavior.

Alliance for Aging Research
The private, not-for-profit Alliance for Aging Research is the nation's leading citizen advocacy organization for improving the health and independence of Americans as they age. The Alliance was founded in 1986 to promote medical and behavioral research into the aging process. Since then, and as the explosion of the Senior Boom approaches, the Alliance has become the voice for Baby Boomer health by developing, implementing and advocating programs in research, professional and consumer health education and public policy.
