Healthy Longevity Research Center Call for Excellence Scholarships 2022-2023

The Tel Aviv University Healthy Longevity Research Center brings together excellence in research to generate ideas and translate them into real-life tools for promoting health and improving quality of life among the elderly – physically, emotionally, socially, environmentally, nutritionally, culturally and more.

We are pleased to announce a call for MSc, MA, MSW, MPH, PhD, and Post-doctoral Scholarships – 25%. The Healthy Longevity Research Center will provide scholarships to outstanding students and post-docs undertaking research in fields related to aging.
