Faculty Research Awards, 2006-2007
The Center on Aging offers a competitive faculty research award each spring as funding is available. The intent of this funding opportunity is to encourage greater focus on aging-related issues in research at KSU and to strengthen efforts to obtain extramural support. Proposals may request support for the development of an aging-related research proposal or exploratory gerontological research supporting the submission of a future research proposal. Priority is given to collaborative efforts. The winners for 2007 and the title of their projects are listed below.
