On November 16-17, 2006, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) will hold the Technical Assistance Workshop for Minority and Emerging Scientists and Students, a two-day interactive forum where minority and emerging scientists and students receive feedback from NIA staff on their current or planned research as well as general information about applying for NIA grants. The workshop will be held immediately prior to the annual scientific meeting of the Gerontological Society of America in Dallas, Texas. Participation is by competitive application.
NIA encourages applications from members of groups under-represented in aging research and investigators committed to research careers related to minority aging issues. Applicants should be pre- or post-doctoral students or recent recipients of Ph.D., M.D. or related doctoral degrees; new to the NIH application process and/or embarking on an independent program of research; investigators with less than five years of research experience; and U.S. citizens, non-citizen nationals or permanent residents.
Applications are due by July 17, 2006. For information and application forms, please contact Jamie Gulin at 301-496-0765 or GulinJ@nia.nih.gov.
