In partnership with the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Roybal Center for Behavior Change in Health, the MIT Roybal Center for Translational Research to Improve Health Care for the Aging will host a virtual meeting featuring presentations of completed pilot projects and office hours with Center principal investigators. The event will highlight a completed pilot project supported by each Center and offer researchers an opportunity to learn more about eligibility, funding, and the review process for Center Requests for Proposals held later this year.
