GRIT Overview The Gerontology Research Interdisciplinary Team (GRIT) is a university-wide research consortium with 20 members representing all five colleges and Clemson Extension. Infrastructure support is provided by the College of Health, Education, and Human Development. GRIT represents an organizational structure for creating interdisciplinary, collaborative, and ecological models for addressing the needs of older adults. Its mission is to discover, develop, and disseminate best practices for successful aging in rural communities. Because of its Community Based Participatory Research approach, external community and agency partners are an integral part of GRIT’s mission. This comprehensive and holistic approach provides the framework for a national model linking the Land Grant University, state agencies, local communities, and public and private funders in ways that enable older adults to maintain optimal functionality.
