Biology of Aging Training and Age-Related Diseases Grant

The Biology of Aging and Age-Related Diseases Training Grant at the University of Wisconsin–Madison prepares predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees from a wide variety of disciplines and diverse backgrounds to conduct research in the basic biology of aging and age-related diseases.

The grant is funded by the National Institute on Aging and headed by IOA affiliates Dr. Sanjay Asthana and Dr. Rozalyn Anderson.

This initiative has been a key mechanism for bringing talented new investigators to the field of aging.
