FUNDING: FY 2010 GPE Funding Announcement Now Available on HRSA Website - Deadline April 19th (8 PM-ET)

Hello again. Regarding the GPE funding. CONA met with Nina Levitt of the Education Government Relations Office yesterday and she explained that although there is not a geropsychology specific GPE funding stream as she had hoped this year, older adults are still one of the underserved populations that is eligible for these funds. She stated that she has been assured that geropsychology is a key target of these awards. She also stated that it is particularly urgent that geropsychology specific grants are submitted so that HRSA can continue to see that there is an urgent and significant need and ongoing interest for geropsychology funding. And she said she will continue to advocate for the geropsychology funding stream. I personally want to thank all of you who have advocated with Nina with on gero's behalf and encourage you to apply. If you have questions about the grants please contact Nina at nlevitt@apa.org. Thanks, Debbie
