CHANGE RCMAR Call for Applications

Posted in Announcements

The CHANGE RCMAR Research Education Program is an 18-month training program in which participants complete both a pilot study and a grant proposal. The goals of the CHANGE RCMAR pilot studies are to encourage junior investigators to pursue a project in social, behavioral, psychological, or economic research on Native aging and/or Native Elders’ health, specifically with American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, or Pacific Islanders; to publish at least one manuscript using their pilot study data in peer-reviewed journals; and to obtain external funding. Pilot study funds cannot be used to supplement funded research that is already in progress. Applications may propose research with middle-aged or younger age groups if the findings will be relevant to promoting healthy aging among Native people.
