Description
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health, plans to support the Coordinating Center for the Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Centers (OAIC) program through a U24 cooperative agreement. The center will facilitate interactions among OAIC sites and serve as a conduit for translating the program’s objectives and findings to scientific and general audiences.
The opportunity focuses on national coordination of the OAIC program. Applicants should bring demonstrated experience coordinating multi-site projects, scientific expertise in geriatrics and related fields, and the ability to work cooperatively with every OAIC site. The forecast is intended to give investigators time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.
