The Association for Gerontology Education in Social Work (AGE-SW) announced in the spring of 2010, that they will fund a new Gerontological Social Work Pre-Dissertation Initiative for doctoral students. This is a wonderful opportunity for pre-dissertation students to receive valuable training in research methods, writing for publication, seeking dissertation funding and being socialized into the academic gerontological social work family. Applications to the Pre-Dissertation Initiatives for 2010 are due by May 1st.
If you have any questions about the program or application process, contact Dr. Carmen Morano at cmorano@hunter.cuny.edu.
