Resource Center on Aging, University of California, Berkeley

Several campus programs offer students and faculty resources to support research in aging. These include:

The University Library
Berkeley's library system contains one of the best research collections in the country. The system consists of the Main Library, the Moffitt Undergraduate Library, the Bancroft Library, 23 branch libraries, and many special libraries. The combined holdings of the libraries total more than 7,000,000 volumes.

The Traffic Safety Center
The mission of the UCB Traffic Safety Center (TSC) is to reduce fatalities and injuries resulting from motor vehicle crashes in the State of California. The TSC is a multi-disciplinary venture led by the Institute of Transportation Studies and the School of Public Health. Its aim is to strengthen the capability of state, county, and local governments, academic institutions, and local community organizations to enhance traffic safety through research, curriculum and material development, and training for professionals and students. Primary funding has been provided by the California Office of Traffic Safety. TSC will be conducting research on traffic safety and aging.

Data Archive and Technical Assistance Program (UC DATA)
UC DATA is part of a consortium of universities belonging to the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging which supplies data on aging in readily usable technical forms through media such as magnetic tape, diskettes, and electronic network file transfer.

Survey Research Center (SRC)

Sponsored Projects Office
The Sponsored Projects Office is charged with all administrative liaison activities related to grants and contracts funded through the University by outside sources. This office is frequently referred to as the "contracts and grants" office on other campuses.
The Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities
The Doreen B. Townsend Center was established through the bequest of Mrs. Townsend in 1987. Its program and services, some of which address topics in aging, promote research, teaching and discussion throughout the humanities and related interpretive sciences at Berkeley.
