The tenth RCCN workshop, Nutrition and Aging Biology, will be held June 25 and 26, 2024 in San Francisco, CA. The scope of the workshop is broad and includes these themes: Caloric Restriction’s Effect on Lifespan and Healthspan, Intake Timing, Treating Obesity in Older Adults, and Other Approaches and Considerations.
Travel Awards are available for approximately 10 early career investigators or investigators in training, who will participate in a special session at the meeting on June 25, that will focus on career development. The travel awards will cover travel to and from the meeting, meals, and hotel accommodations. Successful applicants will be affiliated with institutions with at least one NIA-supported center, and will have demonstrated translational or multidisciplinary interests in aging related to the workshop topic. The deadline to apply is Monday, March 25.
