The Geroscience Education and Training Network Collaborative invites applications for the GET Network Geroscience Ambassadors Program, an innovative initiative designed to expand awareness of geroscience and inspire the next generation of researchers in the biology of aging. The program will recruit and support a cohort of early- to mid-career scientists to serve as national ambassadors, visiting campuses across the United States that do not currently have aging biology programs.

Ambassadors will deliver engaging, interactive presentations introducing students to the hallmarks and biology of aging, translational geroscience, and educational and career pathways in the field. Participants will also share their own research journeys and serve as approachable mentors and role models.

Selected Ambassadors will receive communication and outreach training, participate in monthly virtual professional development sessions, and join a collaborative national network of geroscientists. The program provides honoraria, full travel reimbursement, and opportunities to broaden participation in the geroscience workforce while building leadership and science communication skills.
