Olga Jarrín is an assistant professor in the School of Nursing and directs the Community Health and Aging Outcomes Lab within the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research. Her independent program of research focuses on generating the evidence for home health care as an intervention to health outcomes for older adults living with chronic and advanced illness.

Her research and teaching are informed by her prior experience as a home health nurse and case manager, serving chronically ill/medically complex, low-income, Medicare/Medicaid-dual eligible, and Spanish-speaking older adults. Her home health research has been funded by the American Nurses Foundation, John A. Hartford Foundation, Agency for Health Care Research and Quality, and Alliance for Home Health Quality and Innovation. She also co-leads the Integrating Special Populations in Research Core of the New Jersey Alliance for Clinical Translational Science and the Healthy Aging Research Interest Group at Rutgers.
