Training Opportunities

The T32 Training Program at Johns Hopkins University seeks to produce the next generation of scientists with research expertise in person- and family-centered health services and outcomes with a focus on older adults. 

The training program is led by Program Directors Jennifer Wolff and Cynthia Boyd with support from Associate Program Directors Nancy Schoenborn and Katherine Ornstein and a large group of faculty with diverse interests and expertise. Training fellowships are available to both pre- and post-doctoral candidates.

The award supports methodologically rigorous dissertation research that informs policies to improve care and well-being of vulnerable older populations and their families, in honor of the scientific contributions of Kasper. Eligible applicants include doctoral candidates from any division of the University whose proposed dissertation research is thematically aligned with the endowment. Priority is given to survey-based research, including studies that draw on the National Health and Aging Trends Study and/or the National Study of Caregiving. Primary data collection and qualitative analyses will also be considered.
