Part of the PGDA grant supports Visiting Scholars. PGDA reimburses travel expenses for scholars who are interested in collaborating with Harvard faculty on research related to aging.
The Yerby Post Doctorate Fellowship, sponsored by the Harvard School of Public Health, seeks minority scientists to be successful public health academics. The program engages fellows in exceptional professional development opportunities focusing primarily on advancing fellows’ research under the mentorship of experienced faculty members within the school. Students interested in undertaking study in aging and demography are encouraged to seek Professors David Bloom and David Canning as mentors. Please note: PGDA is not sponsoring this fellowship.
