Doctoral students can also be supported as Graduate Student Researchers (GSR) in the Epidemiology of Aging Areas of emphasis broadly include:

successful aging and longevity, physical function, activity and disability, osteoporosis, vascular aging, sarcopenia, brain aging and mobility. GSR’s will be placed with faculty mentors with expertise in their interested area of research. Doctoral trainees will design, implement, analyze data, and report the results of an independent study as part of the program with a goal of submitting three manuscripts for publication. Trainees are encouraged to present their research in a variety of venues, including GSPH Dean’s Day.
