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 clinical trials. 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. Scientists trained by this program will learn how to develop behavioral interventions with implementation in mind. This will reduce the gap between research and clinical practice for behavioral interventions. Through interactive seminars, writing bootcamps, discussions, and applied learning, participants will deepen their expertise in behavioral intervention development and gain practical skills to advance toward independent research careers. Scientists of the NIH STAGE TRIALS Training Program will engage in 25+ hours of writing time during the program and graduate with a written first draft of their clinical trial proposal.
