*New* CAPS Webinar: Moderated Discussion on Social Science Funding within NIH (02/13/26)

Posted: 2/5/2026 (Local Events)

Syracuse University is sponsoring a webinar on the funding landscape at NIH for aging and population health research.  Since CSDE is part of the Association of Population Centers, along with Syracuse, UW affiliates are welcome to join.  Two sociologists will be offering their insights on their understanding of the current landscape, given their experiences and current roles.  Both are highly productive social scientists with longstanding, successfully funded research programs from NICHD, NIA, NIMH, NIAID, NCI, etc.  Sarah Burgard is the University of Michigan’s population center director and Tara McKay is the co-founder of the LGBTQ+ Policy Lab at Vanderbilt University.  The conversation and insights should be illuminating.  Sarah Burgard is also President of the Association of Population Centers and actively engaged in interacting with NIH programs, other federal agencies, and with US Congress on health funding for population research.
Please add this to your calendar and  feel free to join Syracuse University’s Center for Aging and Population Studies for a moderated discussion on funding research in population health and aging. The speakers, Sarah Burgard and Tara McKay, will address the current funding landscape and prospects for the future.
