2008 Pilot Grant Program Call for Proposals

We are pleased to announce the call for proposals for the Center’s 2008 pilot grant program. The application deadline is May 1, 2008. The complete request for proposals with detailed application information may be downloaded from the Center’s home page, http://aging.utah.edu

The Center on Aging sponsors an annual pilot grant program to promote the development of aging research at the University of Utah. The goal of this program is to encourage the development of new investigators, attract established investigators to aging research and stimulate interdisciplinary research collaborations ultimately leading to new externally funded research.

The Steering Committee and I are hoping to receive many high quality applications representing the full spectrum of the Center’s disciplinary backgrounds. Please make this funding announcement available to all faculty within your own departments and encourage interested faculty to submit an application.
