As you all know, the UTHRO Endowment for Healthy Aging is one of our projects, and we work toward fund raising each year to build the Endowment so that we can use the interest generated to award a seed grant for research, education or patient care to a UTHealth faculty member in geriatrics. The request for proposals was sent out by the Institute on Aging with a deadline of August 31. A committee of UTHRO members will review and evaluate the proposals, and the top submissions will be selected. Those top investigators will be invited to give an oral presentation of their projects to our membership who will then vote on the winner of this year’s $5,000 grant.
