Call for Nominations: 2017 Busse Research Awards

On behalf of the Duke University Center for the Study of Aging and Human Development, AFAR shares this exciting opportunity:

Busse Research Awards recognize the achievements of late junior or mid-career scientists and to encourage their continued contributions to aging research.

This year, one award will be to a scientist from the social/behavioral sciences, the other, a scientist from the biomedical sciences. Awardees will receive certificates and an award of $8,000 (USD) each, plus up to $4,000 (USD) for travel/living expenses.
