Program Funding Opportunities


Support for Summer Research Training:
Research on Aging and the Life Course



Application due April 8, 2005 


The Center on Aging and the Life Course (CALC) seeks applications to support faculty who are interested in improving their research and methodological skills during the summer of 2005 in order to conduct research on aging and the life course. Faculty may find educational opportunities at workshops, conferences, or summer training programs. Below is a partial list of workshops that may be of interest.


Preference will be given to CALC faculty associates in the social, behavioral, or health sciences who can demonstrate experience in or a commitment to conducting life course research. Preference will also be given to applications that have matching funds from other administrative units of Purdue University (e.g., department, center). Support for graduate students in the gerontology minor may be incorporated in the proposal.

The applicant will submit five (5) copies of the application materials, which include:


  1. Cover Page (see attachment)
  2. One page justification of why you want to attend this workshop/conference/summer program. Please address the following topics: 1) how it will contribute to your professional development, and 2) how it relates to your research on aging and the life course (if the training will also benefit your teaching, please describe).
  3. NIH Biosketch, Form 398 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html)
  4. Copy of the workshop/conference/summer program promotional information.
  5. Also include one copy of Form 17, showing itemized expenses, in the application packet.

    A committee consisting of CALC Faculty Associates who are not applying for support will evaluate applications. A total of $6,000 is available, and we anticipate making three to five awards.

    Send applications to Peggy Favorite, CALC/YONG by April 8, 2005.

    Questions should be directed to Peggy Favorite, CALC/YONG, 494-5404, calc@purdue.edu

    Research Support Grant Program

    Purdue University Center on Aging and the Life Course 

    Applications due February 28th, 2005 


    The Center on Aging and the Life Course is pleased to announce the 2005 Research Support Grant Program. This mechanism is a small-grant program to assist active investigators in their research programs related to aging and the life course.


    Purpose

    To provide funds to faculty who need limited support for new and ongoing research projects related to aging or the life course.

    Funding Amounts and Uses

    Proposals should request a minimum of $250 to a maximum $1000. Any Purdue University tenure-track faculty member or clinical faculty who is administratively based in West Lafayette is eligible to apply. The funds can be used to meet any reasonable research-related expenses such as equipment needs, books, software, domestic travel, student assistants, photocopying, or other usual and customary expenses. A total of $6,000 is available for this program. Cost-sharing of expenses is acceptable. Any materials or publications prepared should acknowledge the assistance of a Research Support Grant from the Center on Aging and the Life Course (CALC).

    Application

    Application is included and is due February 28, 2005. The funds are to be spent by June 1, 2006. A committee of the CALC Faculty Associates not applying for this award will review and rank the proposals and submit their recommendations to the Director. Only one proposal per faculty member may be submitted for this competition. Funding priority will be given to applicants not previously funded through this program. Proposals are to be submitted electronically to favorite@purdue.edu. The proposal can be in Word format, or in Web (HTML) format. We anticipate announcing awards by the end of March 2005.



    Lynn Fellowships*

    Funding Objectives:

    The Gerontology Program is pleased to announce the availability of Lynn Fellowships for the 2004-05 academic year. The objective of this request for proposals is to identify the incoming graduate students who will receive these fellowships and the faculty members who will serve as advisors to the fellowship recipients. Priority will be given to students with strong academic records who have expressed an interest in pursuing Ph.D. training in age-related topics. Center on Aging and the Life Course Faculty Associates from all areas, including the social and behavioral sciences, biomedical sciences, and engineering, are encouraged to submit applications.

    General Information

    Lynn Fellowships are made available by the Graduate School to increase the visibility and success of interdisciplinary graduate programs. They are awarded as one-year fellowships, with the stipulation that three years of additional support be guaranteed to the student.

    The Graduate School provides a base stipend of $14,000, plus $967 for the medical insurance supplement. Tuition and fee scholarships are also provided by the Graduate School. The student’s home department is required to provide a minimum cost share of $2,000 per year and is required to provide full support (currently $16,000, plus the appropriate insurance supplement) at the same or higher level to the student for three additional years, assuming satisfactory progress is made toward the degree.

    Purdue does not withhold taxes from fellowship stipends; however, students should consult with a tax expert regarding their tax responsibilities. Recipients of the Lynn Fellowships must, in general, be enrolled as a full-time student in each session that they receive the stipend. The general policy of the Graduate School is that students may not receive an additional fellowship/assistantship stipend concurrently with a Lynn Fellowship.

    Review Process

    A committee of Gerontology Program Faculty Associates will review each application. The review committee will discuss each application, and funding priorities will be assigned.

    Requirements for Awardees

    Departments are required to make a three-year commitment for support to the student, which starts upon the completion of the Lynn Fellowship. Awardees should acknowledge Center on Aging and the Life Course and Graduate School support in all publications derived from the Lynn Fellow’s activities.

    Submission Information

    The following one-page application, including the original and four copies, should be submitted to Peggy Favorite, Center on Aging and the Life Course, YONG 826. Contact Peggy at 494-5404 or favorite@purdue.edu with any questions. The deadline for receipt of proposals is February 1, 2005. It is anticipated that the fellowship awards will be announced by March 4, 2005.
