                                 BILL NUMBER:  S2006

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the elder law, in relation to establishing
distinguished chairs in gerontological sciences at educational,
medical and/or research facilities


 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Adds a new Article 4 to the elder law, to create Distinguished Chairs
in Gerontological Sciences, within amounts available by appropriation,
at one or more research, educational, and/or medical facilities in
this state. The funds provided must be matched by non-State funds.

The section establishes the responsibilities of the chairs, which are
to conduct research, engage in educational and training activities,
and provide clinical services, and establishes as purposes to develop;

1) excellence in geriatric medicine and clinical care with adherence
to accepted standards of knowledge, foster and develop;

2) patient-centered training and education that is holistic and
provides quality and coverage across the continuum of care; and

3) excellence in geriatric research with collaboration and linkages
between research and training, across medical specialties and
disciplines, health and social service professions, and among teaching
hospitals and urban and rural practices, and across the continuum of
care.

The chairs are required to develop a five year regional strategic plan
for research, training and clinical care in their regions, and to work
collaboratively with other regional and related institutions that will
include basic science research, clinical research, applied research in
geriatrics and gerontology as well as programmatic grants.

The bill establishes a selection committee to choose sites for the
chairs composed of six persons appointed by the director of SOFA, and
the following ex officio persons or their designates: the chancellor
of the state university of New York, the chancellor of the city
university of New York, the commissioner of the department of
education, the commissioner of the department of health, and the
chairs of the senate and of the assembly aging committees.

Chair occupants shall be appointed by the appropriate chancellors,
commissioner, chief executive officer, or board, as appropriate, of
the site institutions.  The grant amount for each chair is $1 million,
or less, if less is available by appropriation.

SOFA is to report annually to the governor, the president of the
senate, the speaker of the assembly, the commissioner of health and
the chairs of the senate and assembly aging committees concerning the
activities undertaken by the chairs, the expenditures of funds, and
using an appropriate methodology for such measurement, the success of
the chairs in meeting the goals and objections of this section.

 JUSTIFICATION :

The ability to attract the best researchers, clinicians, and educators
in the country to work in academic and research settings in New York
is key to the state's ability to deal effectively with the age-wave
about to engulf us. New York should be at the cutting edge in research
and transfer of knowledge.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

S.6968A: 2007-08 Referred to Aging, Committed to Rules & Finance,
Passed Senate

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None in the current fiscal year; subsequent impact is limited to
appropriation.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
April 1, next succeeding the date on which it shall have become law.
