Established in honor of Dr. Barbara Payne-Stancil, founder and
Director Emeriti of the Gerontology Institute at Georgia State
University, and inaugurated in 1993, the lectureship each year brings
a distinguished individual from the field of gerontology to the
Georgia State University campus.
This year's Distinguished Lecturer is Dr. Marie Bernard. MARIE A.
BERNARD, MD, is the DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON AGING
(NIA) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), of the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS). As NIA’S SENIOR GERIATRICIAN, she
serves as the principal advisor to the NIA director, overseeing more
than $3 billion in aging and dementia research conducted and supported
annually by the Institute.
Dr. Bernard is a strong advocate for programs and services that
address the wide range of issues, challenges, and needs of older
adults. Notably, she co-chairs two _Healthy People 2020/2030
_objectives (one on Older Adults in general and the second has a
specific focus on dementia). Across NIH, she co-leads the Inclusion
Governance Committee, which facilitates responsiveness to 21st Century
Cures Act provisions to ensure appropriate inclusion of individuals in
clinical studies, including by sex/gender, race/ethnicity, and
addition to children and older adults.
Dr. Bernard's national leadership in geriatrics research, teaching,
and clinical practice has been recognized by receipt of numerous
prestigious awards.
