This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $270,000 to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc) to implement the Aging Research and Entrepreneurial Development Immersion (A-REDI) program. The A-REDI program aims to provide comprehensive training in translational aging research and diverse career paths across academia, industry, and entrepreneurship. Key program components include a 6-month didactic stipend-based participation period for 15 doctoral or postdoctoral trainees, followed by a 6-month immersive period to advance the translation of academic research projects. The program will offer trainees practical experience in various dimensions of translational research, develop their communication and presentation skills, and foster a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and inclusive training environment. The goal is to equip scientists with the necessary skills and knowledge to successfully translate their aging research findings into viable products and explore non-academic career paths in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical device industries.
