The Center on Aging (COA) was established by the UH Board of Regents in July 1988 to stimulate and coordinate gerontological activities at UH Manoa, to establish gerontology as an academic field at UH Manoa, and to promote collaboration between UH and other organizations concerned with aging.

The center is involved in a number of research and training projects, including cultural variations in caregiving; help seeking; perceptions of chronic disease such as cancer, dementia, diabetes, and death and dying practices; client and caregiver satisfaction with homecare services; and coordinating specialized training and workshops in gerontology for local and international organizations.

The projects had been conducted in collaboration with a number of UH Manoa departments including the School of Law, School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene, and the College of Social Sciences, along with community agencies such as the Executive Office on Aging, Hawaiian Islands Hospice Organization, Hawai'i Medical Services Association, and Papa Ola Lokahi among others.
