A University-wide center, the Robert N. Butler Columbia Aging Center, seeks to bring together researchers from across the entire to enable the interdisciplinary study of the biopsychosocial nature of the aging process and its modifiability.
Sponsored by the Center under the direction of Ursula M. Staudinger, Ph.D., these faculty fellowships are open to all junior and senior Columbia University faculty members interested in innovative disciplinary and interdisciplinary research on aging and the life-course. Recipients will receive an award of $30,000 per year to support salary and/or research expenses for a total possible maximum of $60,000. The Faculty Fellowships are meant to lay the basis for subsequent larger scale funding efforts.
The application deadline is January 31, 2017. The Robert N. Butler Columbia Aging Center website contains application instructions and additional details about the seed grants.
