Policy Brief
This policy brief reports the findings of a systematic review conducted by the Community Health Innovations in Prevention for Seniors (CHIPS) project. The project identified successful programs for increasing the use of two or more clinical preventive services to vulnerable, underserved populations age 50 years and older within community settings. The CHIPS project also used the RE-AIM Framework1 to evaluate the readiness and feasibility of implementing these programs within real-world settings.

This issue brief describes how state budget cuts to California State University system are affecting gerontological education – in the form of fewer classes, fewer faculty and less administrative support for those faculty. The brief details the impact of FY2009-10 budget cuts to the 23 campuses of the CSU system and the subsequent loss of $584 million in state funding, resulting in salary and hiring freezes for faculty and staff, furloughs and restrictions on student enrollment.
