Currently multiple NIH Institutes and Centers support research on palliative care, but a centralized NIH approach would help identify synergies and create a clearer training path for scientists in this area. We’re excited that recently, NIA was named the lead NIH Institute for this effort. If you’re interested in being part of this project, be sure to register for the pre-application webinar on March 15, and then apply by July 2 for a new funding opportunity to develop the Consortium for Palliative Care Research Across the Lifespan.
