VIVA VILLAGE CORNER
OSU Life Registry
Member/volunteer Rae Coleman shared this opportunity from the Oregon State University Center for Healthy Aging Research and the Viva Village Governing Council agreed that it may be something some of our Villagers might be interested in learning more about. This is an opportunity for anyone interested in participating in scientific studies to help researchers better understand how to promote and encourage healthy aging.
The following is adapted from their website:
- The OSU Center for Healthy Aging Research (CHAR) includes over 50 faculty who conduct scientific research to better understand how to promote and maintain healthy aging. The LIFE Registry supports the Center's research goals by aiding in the recruitment of volunteers aged 50 and over. Center staff match registry volunteers with CHAR faculty members and their research studies. CHAR researchers conduct both in-person research and online surveys.
- Any adult age 50 or older who lives in Oregon is welcome to volunteer for the LIFE Registry. In order to improve CHAR’s understanding of adult development and healthy aging in all its diversity, we are interested in people of all races/ethnicities, religions, physical capabilities, genders, or social positions.”
- When you join the Life Registry you will be included in a list of potential study participants. You are not obligated to take part in any study. Your consent will be secured for each opportunity. Volunteers can opt out at any time. Click HERE to view and download information about this program.

Note: This information is provided as an FYI. We are not affiliated with CHAR in any way and in case you may have a concern, we never share member or volunteer information with any outside organization.
