Due Dates (Anticipated): December 2026 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: Recognition award
Summary: Recognizes junior investigators whose research accomplishments and career plans demonstrate a commitment to aging and geriatrics.
Key Information: Individuals may apply or be nominated for only one AGS award category per year.
Description
The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) presents this award to recognize junior investigators in the career-development stages of research focused on aging and geriatrics. It honors an investigator’s developing record of achievement and ongoing commitment to aging research, rather than supporting a particular research project. The award is part of AGS’s broader recognition program honoring contributions to high-quality, person-centered care for older adults.
Relevant accomplishments include first-authored original research publications, presentations of aging research at national meetings, and research grant submissions led by the investigator. Applicants must also demonstrate a career plan related to aging research. The ideal candidate has received a career development award, pilot grant, or institutional grant, but not an R01.
