Paul B. Beeson Career Development Awards in Aging Research Partnership (2010, 2011, 2012 Cohorts)

Grant Summary

The Foundation has awarded a grant to the American Federation for Aging Research to continue the Paul B. Beeson Career Development Awards program in partnership with the National Institute on Aging. To date, 152 Scholars from across the nation and the Island of Ireland have received Beeson awards. The highly-competitive, national process results in scholars receiving $600,000 to $800,000 over three to five years for advanced research projects in aging. In addition to receiving important financial support, scholars attend annual scientific meetings and are assigned at least two mentors—one or more senior faculty members at their university and a national mentor from among the prominent scientists who serve on the Beeson Program Advisory Committee.
