Applications Invited for Association of Specialty Professors-American Geriatrics Society Foundation for Health in Aging Award

In partnership with the American Geriatrics Society Foundation for Health in Aging, the Association of Specialty Professors is offering a two-year $75,000 award to fund the early stages of career development for geriatrics specialists interested in another internal medicine specialty.

The award will support research on a geriatric aspect of an internal medicine specialty. In addition, AGS and ASP will offer travel grants for the recipient to attend two AGS Annual Scientific Meetings and one annual meeting for the corresponding specialty, as well as funds for the recipient to visit a senior professor at their institution.

At a minimum, an award candidate must have a faculty appointment equal to the level of assistant professor, have completed a fellowship in geriatrics leading to certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine, be a U.S. citizen or have applied for permanent U.S. resident status, be within four years of his/her first faculty appointment, commit 75 percent of his/her professional effort to research, and be able to match the award with existing support from his/her institution or grant-funding agency.

The award is part of ASP's T. Franklin Williams Scholars Program, a career development award for internal medicine specialists focusing on geriatric medicine.

Program guidelines and application forms are available at the AGS Foundation for Health in Aging Web site.
