There is no limit on the number of submission from Georgia Tech.  However, for tracking purposes, please send Gail Spatt (spatt@gatech.edu) a copy of your Letter of Intent if you plan to apply for a Senior Scholar Award.

 

The Senior Scholar Awards provide researchers with up to $150,000 in direct costs per year for four years, in order to fund "new, creative research programs in aging."  This is a great opportunity to offer, innovative, outside-the-box ideas that generally aren't fundable thorough traditional venues.  Virtually all researchers are eligible, provided they have a proven track record (which does not necessarily need to be in aging research).   Please see the website (link above) for full details.
