NIA invites outstanding graduate students from a wide range of broad research areas including, but not limited to, statistics, neuroscience, physics, immunology, microbiology, informatics, data sciences, and engineering who are interested in receiving aging-related postdoctoral training to apply for this award.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) does not allow applicants to propose to lead an independent clinical trial, but does allow applicants to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a sponsor or co-sponsor. https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AG-20-009.html.
