Applications Open March 1
The Alicia and Yaya Initiative in Global Aging Research, a collaboration between UMB and the University of Costa Rica, will open applications for its Seed and Development grant programs starting March 1, 2026.
The Seed Grant is for funding up to $50,000 to enhance existing partnerships between UMB and UCR researchers, emphasizing international, comparative, and bidirectional research. The Seed Grant requires both UMB and UCR investigators, and funds must be disbursed to both universities.
The Development Grant is for funding up to $10,000 to create the initial framework for future partnership and collaboration. Funds awarded under the Development Grant stays at UMB but can be used to fund travel by UCR faculty and staff.
