Description
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) leads the federal government in conducting and supporting research on aging and the health and well-being of older people. NIA seeks to understand the nature of aging, the aging process, diseases and conditions associated with growing older, and factors that extend the healthy, active years of life. The NIA Office of Strategic Extramural Programs (OSEP) manages NIA’s entrepreneurial and small business funding programs (SBIR & STTR) in addition to other programs such as NIA’s training and career development programs. NIA continually needs to ensure that the programs are accessible and understandable to potential applicants, including marketing the programs in a manner that expands the base of potential applicants.
