Clin-STAR Database Testimonials

The Co-Author network on the Clin-STAR Database has been really helpful for identifying potential collaborators, both to see fields people are in who have collaborated with a lot of other aging investigators, but also to search someone whose name I saw elsewhere, to see if we have any mutual collaborators before reaching out to them.

I’ve used the database to search for past Beeson scholars to understand the scope of their work. Finding the Beeson scholars in one location in the database then allowed me to search the NIH Reporter database to review their past and currently funded studies and the range of research scholars are pursuing.

The Clin-STAR Database has become an invaluable and unique electronic networking resource for me to find health outcomes investigators across a wide range of fields, career stages, geographic settings, and specific foci of research topics.

- Chris Carpenter, Clin-STAR Leadership Core

The Clin-STAR Database has been an invaluable resource for connecting with others in the aging research community. I’ve used it to identify collaborators with overlapping interests in aging and inflammation, and to explore the co-author network to see where new collaborative opportunities may exist across institutions and disciplines.

The Database is a helpful tool for Clin-STAR leadership and staff to drive initiatives.
