Question

he is finding it very hard

Answer 1

I think that if he is doing applied research he is doing so to solve a problem he is encountering while in an activity, whatever social activity that may be.  Perhaps it is best to start with the most important need of the research at the moment and solve that problem and then go from there.

Answer 2

He could put down his experience in gerontology, elderly people can tell us about their lives with many valuable advice and counsels.
