Transition to Aging Research for Predoctoral Students (F99/K00 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) invites outstanding graduate students from a wide range of broad research areas who are interested in receiving aging-related postdoctoral training to apply to this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). This FOA seeks to foster the development of research and clinician scientists in the following areas: genetic, biological, clinical, epidemiological, neuroscience, behavioral, social, and economic research on aging, both basic and translational. To accomplish the goal, successful applicants will be awarded the Transition to Aging Research Award for Predoctoral Students. The purpose of the award is to recruit and retain emerging investigators in aging research. This two-phase award will allow awardees to complete doctoral dissertation projects and provide a variety of training supports to facilitate the smooth transition of doctoral graduates into competitive, aging-focused postdoctoral positions.
