MIRA deadline: April 30
Funding available: Up to six awards of $40,000 (one per Faculty); minimum matching contribution of $5,000 (up to $2,500 may be in kind) is required
Labarge Catalyst Grants offer the opportunity to conduct collaborative and interdisciplinary research focused on mobility in aging.
