James L. Rudolph Career Development Award (NIA IMPACT Collaboratory)
NIA IMPACT Collaboratory (Hebrew SeniorLife / Brown University)
A two-year mentored career development award preparing early-stage investigators to lead embedded pragmatic clinical trials that improve dementia care. It funds the preparatory work — secondary data analysis, intervention development, outcome measure development — rather than a trial itself, which suits social work researchers building toward a first large dementia-care award.
