The goal of the NIA’s Research Centers Collaborative Network (RCCN) is to bring together researchers from the 7 NIA Centers programs to foster the development of cross-center collaborations around issues important to the health and well-being of older adults. The RCCN's fourteenth workshop, “Multidisciplinary Research in Aging/Team Science”, will be held May 20-21, 2026, in Bethesda, Maryland. The scope of the workshop is broad and includes these themes: Multidisciplinary Teams, Early Translation, Multidisciplinary Communities/Geroscience, and Tools and Barriers in Multidisciplinary Research.
Travel Awards are available for approximately 10 early career investigators or investigators in-training, who will participate in a special session on May 20, that will focus on career development. The travel awards will cover travel to and from the meeting, meals, and hotel accommodations.
