The National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the National Institutes of Health supports biomedical and behavioral research with a lifespan focus. NIA research seeks to understand the basic processes of aging, improve prevention and treatment of diseases in later life, and improve the health of older persons with an emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD).  

NIA supports a variety of training and career development opportunities for early-career investigators, including undergraduates, advanced-degree students, post-doctoral researchers, and junior faculty. In this 90-minute webinar, NIA leadership will provide an overview of NIA-funded research, followed by a presentation on funding mechanisms along with strategies to consider when applying for extramural grants and a live Q&A. Finally, attendees will be able to join any number of small group breakouts led by extramural NIA training staff and program officials to discuss opportunities and resources specific to various career paths. Please plan to join this illuminating session with insights for early-career researchers.
