The National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the National Institute on Aging (NIA), has issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for Aging Research Dissertation Awards aimed at promoting diversity among graduate students engaged in aging-related health research. This funding opportunity (PAR-24-052) seeks to support doctoral candidates from underrepresented backgrounds by providing financial assistance for dissertation research costs. The initiative underscores the importance of a diverse scientific workforce in advancing NIH's mission and improving health outcomes for aging populations. Applications are accepted starting January 16, 2024, with a budget of $768,420 over three fiscal years to fund approximately 10 awards annually. Each award allows for salary support of up to $42,500 and additional expenses up to $28,656. Eligible candidates must be enrolled in accredited doctoral programs within the U.S. and demonstrate a commitment to aging-related health research. The application process requires adherence to specific guidelines outlined in the NIH grant application instructions, and consultation with NIA staff is encouraged before submission. This program is part of NIH's broader efforts to foster scientific innovation by ensuring diverse perspectives are included in research endeavors, ultimately benefiting the health of an increasingly diverse aging population in the United States.
