Kensington-Hartford Travel Awards in Geriatrics
Grant Summary
The John A. Hartford Foundation has made a grant to support travel scholarships for doctoral students, fellows, and junior faculty in Georgia to attend major national conferences to support their pursuit of academic careers in geriatric social work, nursing, and medicine. The Kensington-Hartford Travel Award in Geriatrics is designed as a career building opportunity for up to 30 future professors from six Georgia universities (Georgia State, University of Georgia, Medical College of Georgia, Clark Atlanta University, the Medical Center of Central Georgia, and Emory University). Through a competitive process, students in the fields of social work, nursing, and medicine who demonstrate a commitment to faculty careers in geriatrics will attend the annual meeting of either the Gerontological Society of America or the American Geriatrics Society in order to learn about the range of research and academic careers available in aging. Funding for the program was provided via a terminal contribution to the Hartford Foundation from the Kensington Foundation, which closed its operations in 2005.
