Aging Research Dissertation Awards to Increase Diversity

The NIH is accepting applications for dissertation support in broad research areas such as the Biology of Aging; Behavioral and Social Research on Aging; Neuroscience and Neuropsychology of Aging; Geriatrics and Clinical Gerentology. NIA encourages an interdisciplinary focus. Applications are particularly soliticted from individuals of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from socially, culturally, or economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Applicants must have completed all non-dissertation requirements of the degree program before the start of the award. The applicant is asked, though not required, to submit a letter of intent. Although a letter of intent is not required, is not binding, and does not enter into the review of a subsequent application, the information that it contains allows IC staff to estimate the potential review workload and plan the review.
