The Alicia and Yaya Initiative in Global Aging Research provides UMB and University of Costa Rica (Universidad de Costa Rica, UCR) faculty, researchers, students and scholars opportunities to study and learn together through fellowships, collaborative learning opportunities, symposia, seed funding, and other means of financial support.
UMB, UCR, and their partner organization, the InterAmerican Center for Global Health (Centro Interamericano para la Salud Global, CISG), facilitate research in gerontology and aging through the two elements of the Alicia and Yaya Initiative in Global Aging Research: the Alicia and Yaya Fellowship Program and the Alicia and Yaya Grant Funding Program.
