Meet the Funder: RRF Foundation for Aging
Wednesday, April 29, 12pm ET (Zoom)
The RRF Foundation for Aging is a nonprofit funder devoted exclusively to issues related to aging and retirement. Each year, the foundation provides more than $6 million in funding to research, advocacy, and knowledge sharing projects that improve quality of life for older Americans across five key priority areas: age equity, caregiving, economic security, housing, and social connection. In this Meet the Funder webinar, RRF Senior Program Officer and Director of Research, Dr. Amy Eisenstein, will share insights about grant types, priority areas, and review processes. Dr. Deborah Carr, Professor of Sociology, Director of the Center for Innovation in Social Sciences, and past RRF grantee will also share her experience applying to and securing funding from the foundation. RRF Foundation for Aging grants are Limited Submission Opportunities at BU and the Office of Research manages internal competitions to select one applicant per department three times each year. The next internal competition will be held in the early fall so now is an ideal time to learn more about the foundation.
