About The Gerontological Society of America
The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) is the nation's oldest and largest interdisciplinary organization devoted to research, education, and practice in the field of aging. The principal mission of the Society — and its 5,500+ members — is to advance the study of aging and disseminate information among scientists, decision makers, and the general public. Founded in 1945, GSA is the driving force behind advancing innovation in aging — both domestically and internationally. Its members come from more than 50 countries.
The Society’s headquarters is located in Washington, DC. Its staff — working with an elected Council, editors, and various committees — manages all the activities of the organization. GSA members have the choice to affiliate with one of four professional sections: Biological Sciences, Behavioral and Social Sciences, Health Sciences, and Social Research, Policy, and Practice. Students and recent graduates also become part of GSA’s Emerging Scholar and Professional Organization. GSA fosters collaboration between physicians, nurses, biologists, behavioral and social scientists, psychologists, social workers, economists, policy experts, those who study the humani...ties and the arts, and many other scholars and researchers in aging. This stems from the belief that the intersection of research from diverse areas is the best way to achieve the greatest impact and promote healthy aging.
GSA publishes the longest-running and most widely-cited peer-reviewed journals in its field: The Gerontologist; The Journals of Gerontology, Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences; The Journals of Gerontology, Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences. Innovation in Aging is GSA’s first interdisciplinary open access journal. GSA convenes an Annual Scientific Meeting which showcases the latest advancements in gerontological research. This event attracts approximately 4,000 professionals, and the program consists of more than 450 peer-reviewed scientific sessions featuring research presented for the first time.
