Note: this is a courtesy announcement. Departments can make their own selections for this opportunity.

The Retirement Research Foundation (RRF) funds research that seeks to identify interventions, policies and practices to improve the well-being of older adults and/or their caregivers. Preference is given to projects aimed at generating practical knowledge and guidance that can be used by advocates, policy-makers, providers, and the aging network. Of particular interest are:

  • Interventional trials; translational studies; and health services and policy research
  • Projects that build on the investigator’s past studies
  • Proposals that include robust dissemination plans, if appropriate, to assure that findings reach audiences positioned to act on them

 

Application Instructions

A required LOI is due to the sponsor 5/1/2025. If invited by the sponsor to submit a full proposal, the deadline is 8/5/2025.
