You don’t have to be a Red Sox fan—or even a baseball fan—to look forward to coming to Boston for the annual meeting of the Gerontological Society of America on November 14–18. This is your chance to talk with NIA staff and learn about funding opportunities, ask what might happen to your application, or just shoot the breeze. Many of us will be there, and we look forward to talking with and meeting you (and maybe having some clam chowder or a lobster roll). Read the full blog post.

The GSA leadership and staff have been working diligently to manage the many implications of an ongoing strike at the Sheraton Boston Hotel, one of our three venues for the 2018 Annual Scientific Meeting.
