Apply for the 2017 GEMSSTAR Awards Program
The National Institute of Health (NIH) through the National Institute on Aging (NIA) will be accepting applications for the 2017 Grants for Early Medical Surgical Subspecialists Transition to Aging Research (GEMSSTAR) Program, which provide critical research support to physician-scientists pursuing research concerning the care of older adults. The GEMSSTAR awards program provides early career physicians up to $150,000 of direct funding over a two-year period to support aging research. The application for this program opens on September 6, 2016 and the deadline is October 6, 2016.
The GEMSSTAR program is an outgrowth of and partnership with the Dennis W. Jahnigen Scholars program (which continues to offer matching funds to the GEMSSTAR program for surgical and related specialists) and the T. Franklin Williams Scholars program that has supported internal medicine subspecialists.
