"I would never have had the confidence to develop and submit the proposal to NIA had I not attended the institute last summer and the follow-up seminar this winter. I am very grateful for the opportunities you have provided me."

"To be honest, I feel that attending the summer institute put me two years ahead of where I would have been otherwise. The opportunity to talk to visiting professors had an especially meaningful impact on me."

"My teaching this fall will be greatly infused with new energy, knowledge, and stories of cutting edge issues in aging my students will benefit enormously."

"The quality of the institute was remarkable. All of the staff and the visiting professors proved to be superbly helpful and knowledgeable."

"I would enthusiastically recommend the program to anyone with genuine interest in the topic and motivation to face the challenge."

"I think it is a great opportunity to better understand NIA's grant process and to hear from people who are already involved in aging research."
