Description

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to invite outstanding graduate students from a wide range of research areas who are interested in receiving aging-related postdoctoral training to apply for the Transition to Aging Research Award for Predoctoral Students. This two-phase award will support late-stage graduate students to complete doctoral dissertation projects either within or outside of NIA's research priority areas, and provide a variety of training supports to facilitate the smooth transition of doctoral graduates into competitive, aging-focused postdoctoral positions. This NOFO seeks to recruit and retain emerging investigators in aging research. Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO intends to utilize the F99/K00 activity code.
