Research
As part of USC's robust research community, the USC Ethel Percy Andrus Gerontology Center is one of the world's leaders in aging research. As the nation's first multidisciplinary research center devoted to human development and aging, the primary goal of the center is to provide scientific information about the processes of aging and to understand how that information can be applied to individuals, families, organizations and society.
Current research includes many diverse projects, such as the USC/UCLA Center on Biodemography and Population Health (CBPH), California Center for Long Term Care Integration and the Long Beach Longitudinal Study (LBLS).

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.”
—Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
