What is the Pepper Data Center of WFBMC?

Restoring Independence Through Scientific Knowledge

Our Mission is to assess the risk factors of physical disability in older adults, develop and test effective prevention therapies, and train new investigators in research on aging disability, while developing their leadership qualities. The Pepper Center encompasses several studies into one area of ongoing collective research. Although each study has an individual focus, the universal investigation of the Pepper Center is to determine the outcome of physical activity and its influence on the human condition.

This website, the Pepper Data Center, acts as a secure data management systems hub for the various Pepper Center studies and pilot studies.
