Evaluation of Science of Ageing (SAGE) and Experimental Research on Ageing (ERA) initiatives

The objectives of the evaluation were to: assess the extent to which the original objectives of the initiatives were met and the extent to which they contributed to the Government's EQUAL initiative; identify any strengths, gaps and weaknesses in the research funded; review the quality of science and level of outputs of individual grants; consider the added value of funding this area of research as initiatives; and advise on future action.

The Panel based their findings on Principal Investigators' final reports and responses to questionnaire surveys.
