The LCC Pilot Grant Program sparks bold, interdisciplinary research on the demography and economics of aging. Designed to fuel innovation and collaboration, the program empowers LCC researchers and partners to tackle pressing questions about health, equity, and well-being in later life—exploring how social and economic contexts shape the aging experience. We offer two types of pilot grants: one supporting emerging scholars launching their research careers, and another for high-impact or time-sensitive projects that push the boundaries of aging research.
