NIA-funded Predoctoral Research Training in Aging
Student Trainees
The University of Florida has an active student Predoctoral Research Training program in aging. Key features of the program include appointment of a multidisciplinary faculty mentoring team, and regular colloquia. Some students may also qualify for full National Institute on Aging-funded 12-month fellowships to support aging research. Students are recruited primarily on the basis of their fit with a primary mentor from the training program's core faculty, their commitment to aging research, and their willingness to achieve a high level of productivity in the areas of publications, presentations and grants.
Students below represent an outstanding group of trainees. They are integral members of the UF aging community, and student training constitutes part of the "heart and soul" around which our training faculty have coalesced."
