NIA Directors Regional Meeting on Aging Research
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) invited the Regional Institute on Aging to co-host a “Directors Regional Meeting on Aging Research” on March 11, 2008. The NIA supports a series of regional meetings in research and training for individuals new to aging research, as well as those underserved and underrepresented in aging research. The purpose of the meeting was to provide information on existing opportunities for research and training; offer hands on technical assistance in grant writing; provide advice on the design of new research opportunities; and suggest strategies for recruiting under-represented students and investigators to aging research. Approximately 70 people from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas attended the all day meeting held in the Corbin Education Center.
The following staff attended and presented information on NIA and NIH for the participants:
