Azizah Jor'dan, PhD candidate in Kinesiology, has been selected to participate in the 2011 Grants Technical Assistance Workshop (TAW) hosted by the National Institute on Aging (NIA). The Grants TAW is tailored to students in gerontology and related fields, and investigators in different stages of their research careers. The workshop consists of sessions and presentations that are designed to give participants substantial advice from the NIA about preparing for a research career in aging and in taking the next step toward building an independent research career. Ms. Jor'dan will present her dissertation research investigating postural motion in older adults with cognitive deficits.

The Grants TAW will be held November 17-18 at the Sheraton Hotel Boston in association with the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) 64th Annual Scientific Meeting. Ms. Jor'dan is advised by Prof. Michael G. Wade. Congratulations!
