“Our research will be the basis for innovative educational opportunities that cut cross professional boundaries and result in direct, positive changes in public policy, programs and practices that relate to children, families, schools, older adults, caregivers and human service agencies.”

Institute for
Intergenerational Studies

In 2009, Binghamton University founded the Institute for Intergenerational Studies (IFIS) to develop and implement cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research that guides human service programs and practices that impact and serve people across their life span.

The Institute focuses on program development, education and training, research, and technical support that help a broad range of professionals acquire the knowledge and skills to integrate intergenerational components into their work. It also supports University-community collaboration and public policy initiatives that result in effective intergenerational partnerships that positively impact children, youth and older persons.

The IFIS is composed of two organized research centers:

• Southern Tier Center on Aging

• Center for Best Practices in Full-Service Community Schools
