The NIH STAGE TRIALS Training Program, sponsored by The National Institute on Aging, is a national educational program designed for early- to mid-career scientists interested in advancing behavioral interventions through the NIH Stage Model and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). This 80-hour program is taught virtually in 3-hour blocks on Tuesdays and Thursdays, over 14 weeks. Scientists of the NIH STAGE TRIALS Training Program will graduate with a written first draft of their RCT proposal.

The NIH STAGE TRIALS Training Program's long-term objective is to expand the national pool of NIH Stage Model-informed and NIH-funded scientists committed to advancing behavioral interventions to promote healthy aging.
