Condition: Other; Science of Engagement Award to develop and validate an engagement tool on engagement quality and selected outcomes
Population: PCORI lead investigators and/or those who manage PCORI projects

Research Question(s):
- Can we develop a concise way to measure the extent to which researchers engaging older adults in research projects are doing so effectively and can we assign a score that represents a value for the quality of engagement?
- Having done this, can we then apply this new measure to score projects that are engaging older adults in research and see whether higher quality engagement scores are related to better short and medium term PCOR project outcomes?
