Deadline July 1

The Alicia and Yaya Initiative in Global Aging Research (AYY), a unique collaboration between the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) and the University of Costa Rica (UCR), has launched two grant programs: the Development Grant and the Seed Grant. Applications close July 1.

Development Grant: Funding up to $10,000 to create the initial framework for future partnership and collaboration. Development Grants are awarded to projects that build a UMB/UCR partnership that can later apply for an AYY Seed Grant or other extramural funding mechanisms.

Seed Grant: Funding up to $50,000 to enhance existing partnerships between UMB and UCR researchers, emphasizing international, comparative, and bidirectional research. The Seed Grant requires both UMB and UCR investigators, and funds must be disbursed to both universities.
