Students whose applications are accepted will be notified of their Training Center assignment prior to their acceptance of the award. Once selected, students, in collaboration with Training Site Directors and Research Mentors, design individualized training programs. Please note that we will make every effort to place students at their institution of choice; however, this cannot be guaranteed.

Participating Schools

Students can also participate in the program at their home institution if they attend one of the Participating Schools. These schools participate in The John A. Hartford Foundation's Centers of Excellence in Geriatrics Initiative or are recipients of a Donald W. Reynolds Foundation grant to enhance geriatrics education, and, therefore, have an identified geriatrics program. You may e-mail Center Directors directly for more information on the program at your campus.
