MIDUS II Pilot Program
During MIDUS II, a pilot program was instituted in which grants were awarded for innovative interdisciplinary research on adult health and well-being, with an emphasis on integrative approaches to understanding life course and subgroup variations in physical, socio-emotional, and cognitive functioning. All research was based on MIDUS data. Grants of up to $15,000 (total costs) were awarded to investigators from a variety of disciplines. Below is a list of the grant recipients and their winning projects.
