DESCRIPTION

So you're applying for a Geriatrics Academic Career Award (GACA) and want advice from former GACA recipients on writing a successful application?

Well, you're in luck! AGS and ADGAP hosted an interactive webinar on completing your proposal in September 2022. Leading the planning of this webinar were Laura K. Byerly, MD, Lauren R. Hersh, MD, Mamata Yanamadala, MBBS, and Eric Widera, MD – all previous GACA recipients with key insights into the application process.

The GACA Program supports career development of junior faculty as academic geriatricians or academic geriatrics specialists. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has $2.1 million in funding available for up to 26 awardees. This is an exclusive opportunity you won't want to miss for getting critical insights into what can make your application – due by Thurs., Nov. 3, 2022 – a success.
