Attention: American Scientists and Clinicians

The World Health Organization warns of a demographic revolution underway throughout the world. Today, world-wide, there are around 600 million persons aged 60 years and over; this total will double by 2025 and will reach virtually two billion by 2050 - the vast majority in the developing world.
These needs have spawned a collaboration wherein the Institute of Aging of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the National Institute on Aging of the National Institutes of Health (CIHR-IA and NIH-NIA) will invest resources to enhance the scope of research training and to further the role of Canada and the United States in enhancing research capacity in the field of aging.
In recognition of the continuing and expanding need to train new researchers in aging research the CIHR-IA and NIH-NIA have joined together to establish a three-year Post Doctoral Fellowship Program for Training in Research on Aging in Canada (TRAC).
