THE APPLICATION PROCESS IS NOW CLOSED
Thank you to all those who applied. The adjudication committee will make their decision in late December 2012. Applicants will be notified about the decision.
The Centre on Aging has several funding opportunities that are meant to encourage the furthering of studies in aging and gerontology. These awards/fellowships have been made available through gifts and donations made to the Centre on Aging.
The Centre on Aging Research Fellowship is designed to support aging-related research in any discipline. The Research Fellowship is open to all University of Manitoba faculty members. A $10,000 stipend is available.
Highest priority for funding will be given to
- new researchers who do not yet have stable funding for their research; and
- established researchers for whom aging-related research represents a new research direction.
