NIH Training Grant
Faculty Members Awarded NIH Training Grant for the Pritzker Summer Research Program
Dr. David Meltzer, along with colleagues William Dale, MD, PhD (Geriatrics),Sam Sisodia, PhD (Neurosciences), and Vineet Arora, MD, MPH (Medicine), have been approved to receive funding from the National Institute on Aging (a subsidiary of the National Institutes of Health) through a T-35 training grant. Their grant joins that of Dr. Eugene B. Chang and Dr. William A. McDade who already have established training grants from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disorders (NIDDK) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), respectively. These NIH grants provide funding for the Pritzker Summer Research Program, allowing students to pursue research that supports the investigation of topics under the broad spectrum of their funding source. The new NIA grant will support nine students conducting aging-related research; collectively these grants bring our number of NIH-funded student positions to 54. The continued success of the Pritzker faculty in securing such grants speaks both to their innovative research and the abundance of opportunities for scholarship and discovery available to our students.
