Explore collaboration opportunities to conduct research in healthy ageing.
Collaborate with us
If you are interested in collaborating with us, please contact us at enquiry@geri.com.sg.
Our researchers work with partners to conduct multi-disciplinary research on challenges facing older people in Singapore today.
We invite interested investigators from Singapore’s healthcare clusters, policy bodies, community spaces and the academia to join us as scientists or collaborators. Participation of students, postdoctoral fellows and research faculty at all levels are also welcomed.
By partnering with GERI, you gain access to our expertise in:
Implementation Research: Using an integrated knowledge translation approach to accelerate the implementation of research findings to bridge the research-practice-policy gap
Evidence Review: Gathering and synthesising current research to understand the evidence to inform research-relevant topics
Programme Evaluation: Examining the economics, process, and outcomes of programmes
Health Policy Research: Producing evidence-based research to inform policy-relevant questions for Singapore’s ageing population
What our partners say
“The BE-FIT team and I have enjoyed our collaboration and partnership with our co-investigators at GERI. They provide interesting and insightful input particularly from an implementation perspective. This entails how we could use various knowledge translation and implementation frameworks to turn our research findings into actual actionable impact at both a policy level and also on the ground, in partnership with all our important stakeholders.”

Consultant, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Woodlands Health
“Our collaboration with GERI will strengthen the implementation research capabilities for the conduct of INFINITY-ICOPE. This is essential for a complex programme such as this. The pre-implementation qualitative study conducted by GERI has identified key barriers and enablers among stakeholder implementers, which have guided the selection and development of implementation strategies according to evidence-based frameworks. GERI’s support has been instrumental in ensuring rigour to the implementation science, bringing in appropriate theory and frameworks to account for contextual factors”

“Our partnership with GERI has certainly been important in bridging interdisciplinary research between medical practitioners and the social sciences. Leveraging the GERI team’s domain and methodological expertise, we have developed and validated a self-reported measure of intrinsic capacity, which has enabled us to keep our research efforts in tandem with the World Health Organization’s healthy ageing directives. This measure has been fielded to members of the Singapore Life Panel, allowing us to track and better understand how well-being can be ensured for older Singaporeans.”
