Please forward this message to all graduate students.

The Institute of Aging awards 5 prizes of $1,000 each competition. There are 3 competitions each year. Since this program began in 2003 there has not been a University of Manitoba recipient. We have graduated Masters and PhD students who's research is excellent and would certainly be competitive.

Please encourage eligible students to apply.
