The primary objective of the RCMAR program is to support the career development of early career scientists conducting social, behavioral, psychological, and economic research related to aging, health disparities in older adults, and/or Alzheimer’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease–Related Dementias (AD/ADRD). When you become a RCMAR Scientist, you gain access to many resources and opportunities.
RCMAR scientists are a diverse cohort of early career behavioral and social science faculty members. Each funding cycle, RCMAR Centers select three scientists each with an interest in behavioral and social science research careers focused on aging, health disparities in older adults, and/or AD/ADRD.
