Grant: Summer Program in Aging

It is with great enthusiasm that I apply to the Summer Program in Aging 2021 offered by the Canadian Institute of Health Research - Institute of Aging. With the aging population in Canada, it is imperative that trainees receive appropriate training to develop timely research questions, adequate skills to conduct research, and become familiar with the availability of data related to aging. I am particularly interested in the Summer Program in Aging, as this is a one of a kind dynamic learning experience that will allow me to develop skills related to the interdisciplinary nature of the field of aging. This includes knowledge translation and communication skills, while developing an interdisciplinary network of trainees, leading researchers and academic mentors. The theme of the Summer Program in Aging, Longitudinal Studies on Aging, greatly aligns with my research interests, as I have a keen interest in the application of epidemiologic and analytical methodologies to longitudinal data.
