Core Leader: Randy Strong, PhD

The Research Development Core seeks to expand the scope of research in the basic biology of aging at the UTHSCSA and to develop young investigators for the future needs of biological gerontology.

To achieve these goals we provide funds and other resources that allow investigators to carry out pilot studies and subsequently compete successfully for funding from the National Institute on Aging and other national agencies that fund aging research. Each year, the Core funds pilot projects in the basic biomedical sciences at a level of up to $50,000 per year that may be renewable for a second year.
