Thus, this program aims to provide outstanding research and educational opportunities within the setting of a state-of-the-art medical and research center. Twenty-three faculty members who are leaders in basic, translational, and clinical research on various aspects of aging are available to mentor trainees. In addition to the in depth scientific training that they will receive from their mentors, postdoctoral fellows (three per year) will participate in workshops for grant writing and career development. Fellows will be expected to submit applications for independent grants and to participate in a full array of programmatic activities, including but not limited to journal clus, seminars, national scientific meetings, and training in the responsible conduct of research. This training program values individuals from diverse educational and societal backgrounds and will benefit from the unique perspectives they bring to solving complex medical problems and reducing the burden of age-related diseases on patients, their families, and our society.
