Description
The National Bureau of Economic Research’s Center for Aging and Health Research, with funding from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), supports two-year pilot projects on health and aging. The Center brings together economists, clinical researchers, and experts from other disciplines to stimulate research among new investigators and on new topics, advancing science toward pressing challenges in a changing societal landscape.
Proposals may address any topic related to health and aging, with particular interest in the Center’s thematic networks. Beyond research support, funded project leaders participate in a virtual research and career development seminar series and receive mentorship from Center and Network leaders. They must submit a K or R grant application before the project period ends. Pilot funding is subject to NIA approval.
