Do you know an investigator new to aging research? Perhaps it is you?
The NIA 2012 Summer Institute, now in its 26th year, is soliciting applications for an intensive introduction to aging research. This 7-day workshop for investigators new to aging research is focused on current issues, research methodologies, and funding opportunities. The Summer Institute on Aging Research is one of the premier short-term training opportunities for new investigators. This is an invaluable introduction to the diverse fields of research in all fields of aging and geriatrics and affords students unparalleled access to NIA and NIH staff in an informal setting.
The 2012 Summer Institute will be held July 7 – 13 in Maryland. Support is available for travel and living expenses.
Applications are due March 9, 2012.
Minority investigators are strongly encouraged to apply.
