Full Text of JOE Listing:

NBER’s Fellowship Program in Aging and Health Research, supported by the National Institute on Aging and NBER (nber.org), enables outstanding early-career economists to visit NBER’s Cambridge office for one or two years of intensive research.

Successful applications will 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.

Applications from researchers who are just completing their PhDs, as well as from junior faculty members who may be able to combine this fellowship with an early career leave, are welcome.
