The Canadian Frailty Network (CFN) is a not-for-profit pan-Canadian network founded in 2012. As of July 2026, it has been transferred to the AGEWISE Research Institute at Queen’s University.
The Aging and Geroscience Excellence for Well-being, Increased Health Span and Enablement Institute (AGEWISE) coordinates research, translation, and education programs to address central questions in geroscience, an interdisciplinary field of study that investigates the biological mechanisms of aging to understand and combat age-related diseases. By combining expertise across medicine, nursing, rehabilitation, epidemiology, engineering, fundamental and data sciences, it aims to enhance health span and improve quality of life for older adults in Canada.
