Fellows pursue independent research while benefiting from opportunities for regular interaction with the Bureau’s network of prominent investigators in this field.

Successful applications respond to NIA priorities for Health Economics and Aging Research and describe projects in which health outcomes and behaviors are the primary focus, with a clear connection to an improved understanding of health.
