CASI Early Career Pilot Awards
The Mongan Institute Center for Optimal Aging and Serious Illness (CASI) supports innovative, transdisciplinary research that leverages MGH’s and the broader community’s strengths to improve the well-being of older adults and those with serious illness.
The Chong Jin Park and Ki Sub Joung Early Career Pilot Awards in Aging and Palliative Care support innovative applied clinical research or clinical implementation pilot project(s) (T3-4) focused on improving the evidence base for aging or serious illness care. These awards will fund initial pilot work to provide data and planning for an externally funded, full-scale project grant (e.g., K award, R01, PCORI, etc.).
The Mongan Institute Center for Aging and Serious Illness is excited to announce the winners of our two Early Career Pilot Awards in Aging and Palliative Care.
