[message sent on behalf of Anne Case and David Cutler]
Dear NBER Colleagues:
We co-direct a grant for the NBER Center for Aging and Health Research,
funded by the National Institute on Aging. Among its activities, the
Center funds up to four pilot studies annually. Projects must relate to
health outcomes at older ages, and typically fit within one of the
high-priority network themes of the Center:
• The Economics of COVID-19
• Health Trends and Inequalities
• Data Analytics, Information Technology and Health Care Decision-Making
• The Economics of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias
• The Dynamics of the Health Care Ecosystem
• Medical Innovation and the Value of Health Care
• Behavior Change in Health
The ideal pilot projects are innovative, bold, timely, and important to
public health. A working paper of some form is expected by the end of
the funding period, and a more comprehensive follow-up grant application
to NIA is a strongly encouraged additional outcome of the pilot exploration.
Projects generally provide one or two months of investigator salary,
research assistance, or other expenses such as experimental
interventions or data acquisitions. We consider projects with direct
costs up to $50,000.
We are soliciting ideas for pilot projects for the upcoming fiscal year
(July 2022-June 2023), and we welcome your submissions. Submissions from
early career scholars and by researchers from under-represented groups
are particularly welcome. If you have a project idea, please upload a
title and a 1-2 page summary by Wednesday, January 26. Submissions may
be uploaded at:
http://conference.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=HRPPs22
You can find additional information on the Center, including summaries
of current and recent pilot projects, on the NBER Center website

We look forward to reading your project ideas.
Sincerely,
Anne Case and David Cutler
