Join CSDE as we bring together students, faculty, and staff to discuss aging-related research and opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. Selected faculty members from Health Services, Anthropology, Biology, Social Work, and the Simpson Center for the Humanities will give flash talks on their research agendas and aging-related research activities happening in their departments. Flash talk topics range from the demography of dog aging, to the role of technology in elder care,

The NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) invites Early Stage Investigators (ESI, within 10 years of their terminal degree) to participate in the NIH Matilda White Riley Honors Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Paper Competition. Initiated as an annual distinguished scholar lecture, OBSSR expanded the Matilda White Riley Honors event in 2016 to recognize emerging scientists with a competition for peer-reviewed articles by ESIs. OBSSR will pay the travel expenses for up to four ESI honorees to present the findings from their accepted paper and participate in a moderated discussion of future behavioral and social sciences research possibilities during the 12th annual meeting,

Purpose

The National Library of Medicine is issuing this Notice to highlight its interest in receiving grant applications through NLM Research Grants in Biomedical Informatics and Data Science (R01 Clinical Trial Optional) (PAR 18-896), focused on research to reduce or mitigate gaps and errors in health data sets.

The Population Research Institute at Pennsylvania State University seeks a Research Associate in Applied Demography. With support from Penn State, PRI is helping to lead a new initiative to develop the Pennsylvania Population Network (PPN) – a coalition of related research centers and resources from across the Pennsylvania State University. The PPN provides analyses focused on the role of population structure and change on health outcomes that can inform decision making by stakeholders in Pennsylvania and beyond.
