Developing Research Skills in Aging: From Training Program to Funded Project

Based on a discussion sponsored by the AARP Andrus Foundation in recognition of the presentation of the Clark Tibbitts Award to the Midwest Council for Social Research on Aging (MCSRA) at the Sixteenth Annual Meeting of the Assoc for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE), personal experience is drawn on to demonstrate how faculty can progress from a training experience in gerontological research to the successful conduct of grant-funded research. Strategies that may be helpful in obtaining research grants are also outlined. 8 References. Adapted from the source document.
