NIA Symposium for Senior Researchers - What is New on the Horizon?


Developed by the National Institute on Aging in cooperation with the AGS Research Committee for funded senior researchers.
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, is the federally designated lead agency on aging research, and has supported significant portions of the NIH aging and Alzheimer's disease research portfolio. This symposium targets the needs of senior investigators by providing an update from NIA's senior extramural division staff on their research programs and initiatives. There will also be an opportunity to query these leaders regarding future directions in NIA research.
