NIA Geroscience Education and Training (GET) Network           


Geroscience-guided therapies seeking to alleviate chronic conditions of aging as a group by targeting basic aging processes are now entering clinical trials. The discovery, validation and translation into routine clinical care of such transformational therapies will require a robust and diverse geroscience workforce and training pipeline. We are proposing the creation of a network model designed to integrate expertise, knowledge, and resources across multiple institutions and organizations in addressing the following Aims. Aim 1: Develop shared geroscience curricula and educational materials initially targeting medical, PhD students and geriatric medicine fellows. Aim 2: Develop a Certificate in Geroscience Research Program to train the next generation of geroscience researchers by offering multidisciplinary training in geroscience. Aim 3: Ensure optimal dissemination of the educational materials developed through this award.
