Office for Research on Aging
The Office for Research on Aging at St. Louis College of Pharmacy was instituted in 1993 to encourage and facilitate studies of aging humans within the field of pharmacy. The office promotes gerontological research within the clinical aspects of pharmacy practice, as well as both basic and applied research of the physiological, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions of aging. The office presents campus programs, develops proposals, seeks donations, external funding and sponsored projects, conducts research, provides program evaluation services, prepares appropriate reports of these activities, and assists others to do the same. The office sponsors a Fall Lecture Program on topics of general interest, a Spring Lecture Program reporting current research, and an on-campus Gerontology Interest Group. A newsletter, The Office Report, is distributed biannually.
Research Proposals Due: March 15 and October 15, 2011
The Office for Research on Aging solicits research proposals for faculty and faculty-sponsored student projects. The deadline for proposals is March 15th in the spring semester and October 15th in the fall semester. Decisions will be announced by April 15th and November 15th, as appropriate. Submissions should conform to the format for Faculty Research Incentive Fund proposals. Only direct costs will be funded. Past project awards have not exceeded $1,000. Proposals will be reviewed by members of the ORA Advisory Board. This group may decide to make no awards.
