The AGING Initiative: MCCs Scholars Program Applications Open
The NIH-funded Health Care Systems Research Network (HCSRN) and Older Americans Independence Centers (OAICs) AGING Initiative has announced the sixth cycle of the MCCs (Multiple Chronic Conditions) Scholars Program.
The AGING Initiative MCCs Scholars Program is intended to catalyze an expansion of interdisciplinary research relevant to the science of Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCCs). The program has created a cohort of emerging leaders who are committed to pursuing training and collaborative opportunities to align their research interests and agendas with issues relevant to the health and healthcare of older adults with MCCs.
The AGING Initiative will select up to 14 scholars this year. The scholarships provide travel and accommodations for a training workshop and throughout the year, Scholars participate in six webinar-based career development teleconferences based on 4 curricular elements:
- Significance of Multiple Chronic Conditions
- Resources and tools for MCCs researchers
- Enabling meaningful patient/caregiver engagement
- Professional/leadership development for investigators
The MCCs Scholars Program aims to foster a nationwide community and mentoring network to extend and sustain MCCs research.
Applications are due January 8.
