Re:     Campus Initiative on Aging Launched - Search for 
        Interested Faculty


In June 2001 the Colleges of Agricultural, Consumer and 
Environmental Sciences; Applied Life Studies; Liberal Arts and 
Sciences; Medicine; and Veterinary Medicine jointly committed to 
establishing a campus-wide Initiative on Aging with the goal of 
increasing collaborations in the area of aging research, 
education, and outreach. 

The Aging Initiative is designed to facilitate cutting edge 
research and discovery programs, effective learning experiences 
for students and relevant outreach efforts that engage policy 
makers, industry leaders and consumers.

Objectives of the initiative include:

     i.    Identify Faculty with Research Interests in Aging
     ii.   Organizing a campus-wide colloquium series on aging
     iii.  Facilitating interdisciplinary research proposals
     iv.   Providing seed money for especially promising proposals
     v.    Disseminating information about courses in the area of 
           aging
     vi.   Sponsoring an Annual Conference on Aging  
     vii.  Providing research support for faculty


We invite you to join the Aging Initiative Faculty:

One of the first goals for the Initiative is to compile a 
directory of researchers and scholars working in the area of 
aging.  If one of your areas of specialization is aging and you 
have published in the area of aging, you are invited to submit a 
brief biographical sketch (description of research interests; 5 
most relevant publications; research keywords; photo) for 
publication in the Initiative Directory and on the Initiative 
Website.

Bio Sketch Information:

    1.    Name
    2.    Position
    3.    Contact Information
    4.    Research Summary (one paragraph maximum 250 words)
    5.    Publications: (restricted to 5 most relevant articles)
    6.    List 5 keywords which summarize your research interests.
    7.    B/W or Color photo (jpg or bmp format). If you already 
          have a photo on your departmental website, you can simply 
          direct us to the appropriate url.
