2020 Request for Trainee Applications
EXTENDED REGISTRATION DEADLINE
FRIDAY, AUGUST 28TH, 2020 by 5:00 pm EDT
COVID-19 has presented many challenges to trainees working in the research areas of aging and neurodegenerative diseases. To ensure that CCNA core strategic research priorities remain a focus, CCNA trainees are invited to assemble interdisciplinary research teams of trainees and investigators for an application to the iTRIC Program. iTRIC Research Teams will develop innovative research proposals that cross CCNA strategic priorities: Prevention, Treatment, and Quality of Life.
The iTRIC Program will:
- Focus on trainee development and provide a unique collaborative learning experience that increases exposure to an interdisciplinary research approach.
- Add value to formal training and supervision by stretching trainees beyond discipline-specific boundaries to enhance communication and interdisciplinary teamwork with peers and future colleagues.
- Competitively award four iTRIC Research Teams with $10,000 to continue work on their research proposals.
