[https://secure.geron.org/emailimages/GSA/GSA-1130-CIAW-2021-Update-EmailBanner_650x100-v2.jpg?method=resize&width=570] Dear Neil, The unprecedented events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have brought to the forefront the need for more professionals that provide care and services to the aging population. Careers in Aging Week (CIAW) is around the corner-April 18-24, 2021-and GSA, along with partner organizations, needs your help to raise awareness about the wide-ranging career opportunities in the field of aging. Help Spread the Word! 1. Share your story. Share your knowledge of the field on social media and let people know what career in aging you have chosen and why. This will allow people to see the diverse career paths in the field of aging such as health care practitioner, education, research, operations management, dietary planning, and gerontology as well as more unexpected roles such as professionals in technology, design, programming, and communications. 2. Visit CareersInAging.com. Download GSA's toolkit which includes social media images and messaging, a zoom background, flyers, and other tools to help elevate your message. 3. Pass on resources. When you visit CareersInAging.com, you will find resources such as career tip sheets, online resources from our partner organizations and The Real Faces of Careers in Aging-a series of audio vignettes featuring interviews with professionals currently working in the field of aging. 4. Attend an event. The Erickson School of Aging Studies, one of our Careers in Aging Week partners, is hosting several virtual events throughout the week. Join their alumni and community partners to talk about the heroic and exciting work they have been doing in the field of aging. Join us in celebrating Careers in Aging Week!

Dr. Joe Grzywacz (College of Human Sciences) and I are the project leads here at FSU. The Florida RDC facility will be housed at UF in Gainesville and is anticipated to be operational later in 2021. An overview of the planned center can be found here: https://www.census.gov/about/adrm/fsrdc/locations/florida.html UF has developed a job advertisement for an RDC administrator, which is attached to this email. Feel free to distribute the notice as you see fit. Utilization of the new facility at UF will be encouraged via multiple approaches. Among the RDC?s plans are the creation of a seed grant program aimed at facilitating access to the new facility, and it is possible that the seed grant program might assign some priority to graduate student-led research. These discussions are still ongoing and more information will be forthcoming. A summary of the data available from RDCs may be found here: https://www.census.gov/about/adrm/fsrdc/about.html I know several folks had ideas for possible research projects that they might undertake if they had access to these protected data. As we move forward, I would be happy to discuss where you are with these project ideas and if the topics remain of interest to you. At that same time, I?d be keen to know about additional ideas faculty might have for utilizing Census RDC resources to access protected data. Thank you for your time. Please feel free to share this update with anyone you feel I may have missed on the email, and do not hesitate to contact me directly with any follow up questions or concerns. More information will be forthcoming as additional details of the RDC and its programs take shape. Mark -- Mark W.

Wilber, Assistant Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, will receive the grant, awarded through the NIH?s National Institute on Aging, over the course of the next five years. ?One reason Alzheimer?s treatments have failed may be because it?s difficult to catch the disease before the brain has become too dysfunctional to recover,? Wilber said. ?This grant is focused on identifying early changes in the brain, and we hope that looking earlier in the disease progression will yield new insight into approaches for detecting and treating Alzheimer?s disease. We are also looking at later timepoints since more is known about later brain changes in Alzheimer?s disease.? Wilber?s team ? including research scientist Shawn Moseley and graduate students Sarah Danielle Benthem and Alina Stimmell, and co-senior investigator Benjamin Clark from the University of New Mexico ? will assess the relationship between spatial learning and memory and the brain?s dynamics during sleep. Using mouse models, they will examine these dynamics within and across the hippocampus and parietal cortex, brain regions involved in spatial navigation learning and memory.

Dr. Xie, professor in UT?s School of Nursing and School of Information, conducts research focused on understanding the needs of older adults for health information and services and how technology can be designed and used to meet these needs. Her research has implications for reducing digital inequalities and ensuring patient-centered care in the digital health era. Dr. Xie, a Fellow of the Gerontological Society of America, received her bachelor?s degree in Medicine from West China University of Medical Sciences in Chengdu, her master?s degree in Psychology from Peking University in Beijing, and her doctorate in Science and Technology Studies from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services; to date, her work has generated more than 90 publications.

Gordon, Steiner and Nagpal are all assistant professors in the Department of Nutrition, Food & Exercise Sciences in the College of Human Sciences. Delp is dean of the college. Each ISL Planning Grant provides a $15,500 award in support of research in a new direction or provides continuing support of existing research with the goal of improving the opportunity for successful longevity. ?We are pleased to support these scientists as they conduct research on the loss of muscle mass and strength in older adults,? said Neil Charness, Director of the Institute for Successful Longevity. ?This is an important area of concern, and new research is needed to explore possible interventions that could arrest or mitigate these losses.?
