The Grants for Early Medical/Surgical Specialists’ Transition to Aging Research (GEMSSTAR) program offers small grants designed to support early-career physician-scientists from medical or surgical specialties, alongside early-career dentist-scientists. This grant is for the purpose of fostering their transition into aging- or geriatric-focused research, with the ultimate goal of developing them into future leaders in the field. Recipients will conduct transdisciplinary aging research, generating vital pilot data and gaining essential experience that will lay the groundwork for more extensive subsequent aging research projects. This initiative aims to cultivate the next generation of researchers dedicated to understanding and addressing the complexities of aging.
