The RCCN is sponsoring a workshop series to address problems of high relevance to multiple NIA Center programs. These workshops will feature the sharing of paradigms, conceptual models, and key insights from perspectives of the participating centers programs.
The 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.
The format of the workshop will include a series of brief talks (think TED talks) providing high level conceptual introductions of key aspects as they relate to AI and health behaviors for healthy aging. Presentations will be followed by moderated discussions. The meeting will have a dedicated session discussing areas that would be most promising for inter-center collaboration.
For each workshop, Travel Awards are available for approximately 10 early career investigators or investigators in training, who will participate in the workshop and a special session 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 who have demonstrated translational or multidisciplinary interests in aging related to the workshop topic.
Applications are currently being accepted for the RCCN Workshop: Multidisciplinary Research in Aging/Team Science.
The deadline to apply is Friday, February 27.
