Depending on career stage, participants will make brief research presentations in workshops and receive feedback from peers and NIA staff. The workshop will occur on November 16th and 17th in Washington, DC, immediately prior to the Gerontological Society of America's 53nd Annual Scientific Meeting.
Participation is by competitive application.
The applicant may be new to the NIH application process or poised to begin an independent program of research. Investigators who demonstrate a commitment to research careers related to minority aging issues are also encouraged to apply. Space is limited. First-time applicants will be given priority. With support from the NIH Office of Research on Minority Health, NIA can provide transportation and lodging expenses and a modest fee for preparation and participation for first-time participants.
