Description
This funding opportunity invites applications for R25 research education programs aimed at undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds, including those underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral sciences. The goal is to expand and diversify the skilled workforce in aging research by providing early exposure and intensive research experiences in aging-related fields. These programs are designed to prepare undergraduates to transition into advanced degree programs or competitive research careers in aging disciplines.
The program emphasizes research education rather than independent clinical trials; while participants cannot lead independent clinical trials, they may obtain research experience in clinical trials led by mentors or co-mentors.
