High Priority Behaviour and Social Research Networks
UK-US collaborative funding
The BBSRC have announced they will contribute to the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and ESRC joint call for networks.
Background
This call for funding will provide infrastructure support for advancing the development of interdisciplinary areas of biological, behavioural and social research of relevance to ageing. Ageing-relevant research is that which addresses issues of importance to the wellbeing and health of either mid-life or older adults, and can include data spanning the entire life course.
The infrastructure support will facilitate research networks through meetings, conferences, small scale pilots, training, and dissemination so that they can develop to the point where work in this area can be supported through standard research funding mechanisms. Development of research networks is critical to advance the science in high priority emerging areas, where integration across studies, disciplines and institutions is required.
