Does this fit your business?

This is an NIH career award for established investigators who already hold expertise in aging or Alzheimer's research and want to build that capacity at their institution through mentorship, curricula, and pilot funding. It is not a general small-business grant; a small business only fits if it runs aging or dementia research and education programs. Clinical trials are not allowed, and organizations with no aging or health research focus should not bother applying.

Best for
Established investigators with aging or Alzheimer's research expertise, Higher education institutions building aging research capacity, Nonprofits and research organizations in aging or dementia science, Institutions developing mentorship, curricula, or pilot funding programs
Not for
Small businesses without aging or health research programs, Organizations seeking funding for clinical trials, Applicants outside aging, Alzheimer's, or dementia research
