Mini-Sabbatical Support 

Looking for a funded short-term, immersive, learning experience?

 

Mini-Sabbaticals are short-term immersion opportunities to learn specific methods or techniques designed to fulfill objectives based on the applicant's previous knowledge, experience, specific research interests, and/or training goals.

These mini-sabbaticals, which may last up to a week, should offer a highly collaborative and supportive academic environment, mentorship, opportunities to participate in organized scholarly activities, access to a workspace, and reasonable access to relevant resources.

Up to $4,000 may be requested, to cover travel, housing, and meals.

Early Career Lecture Fund

Are you an early career clinician-scientist interested in travel funds to present your aging-related research in a lecture at an annual scientific or medical specialty association meeting?

 

The Clin-STAR Coordinating Center provides support to encourage early career investigators in the field of aging research to present findings at an annual scientific or medical specialty association meeting where aging-related research is not the primary focus (e.g., GSA, AGS).

Are you going to AGS25? Meet other medical and surgical specialists of all disciplines and career levels focusing on aging research!

Large Data Research Group in formation

The Clin-STAR Large Data Research Group is designed for members of the Clin-STAR community interested in leveraging large databases, including claims data (e.g., Medicare), survey data, and Electronic Health Records (EHR), to advance aging research. The group aims to provide a collaborative environment for Early-Stage Investigators to share resources, discuss methodological approaches, and receive feedback on projects utilizing these rich data sources. Our objectives include fostering interdisciplinary collaborations, enhancing data analysis skills, and supporting research initiatives that can lead to joint publications, grant proposals, and presentations. Through this group, we seek to facilitate impactful research that improves health outcomes for older adults using real-world data.
