Research Stimulus Grants in Aging
Overview
The aim of the Research Stimulus Grants in Aging program is to build greater strength in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary aging research on the UNC Chapel Hill campus. In order to stimulate the participation of more faculty in interdisciplinary aging research, the Institute on Aging will award up to four grants. Grantees will be expected to use these funds to build an interdisciplinary team and to develop a research proposal in aging.
