The Program on Aging, established in 1982, was part of the School of Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It grew directly out of the school's 1979 federally funded Geriatric Curriculum Development Project. When the project ended, the North Carolina General Assembly appropriated funds for an ongoing Program on Aging. During its brief history, the program obtained a number of training and research grants and provided consultation to public and private agencies. It also developed the Geriatric Education Center in conjunction with the university's Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Social Work and the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers Program. In 1989, the program's educational and research activities were absorbed by various departments of the School of Public Health, and the program ceased to function as a separate entity. Records consist of correspondence and other files relating to the Program on Aging and the Geriatric Curriculum Development Project. Included are memoranda, brochures, grant applications, progress reports, and minutes of the program's advisory committee. There are also files dealing with planning activities at the state level, particularly those of the Governor's Coordinating Council on Aging.
