The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is announcing the 2001 Taking the Next Step: Technical Assistance Workshop for post doctoral and pre-doctoral students, and other individuals with recent Ph.D.s, M.D.s or related doctoral degrees who are members of groups under-represented in aging research. Workshop faculty will provide information and technical assistance on applying for funding from NIA. Depending on career stage, participants will make brief research presentations in workshops and receive feedback from peers and NIA staff. The workshop will occur on November 14th and 15th in Chicago Illinois, immediately prior to the Gerontological Society of America's 54th Annual Scientific Meeting. Participation is by competitive application. The applicant may be new to the NIH application process or poised to begin an independent program of research. Investigators who demonstrate a commitment to research careers related to minority aging issues are also encouraged to apply. Applications must be postmarked by August 14, 2001.
