This symposium will address the importance of integrating equity into aging research and how best to do so, funding opportunities to support equity research, and rigorous methods to perform high-caliber science addressing health disparities in aging. Learning Objectives: (1) describe the resources and support available at NIA/NIH to facilitate integration of social determinants and a focus on health equity into research; (2) connect with senior and peer researchers in aging who could serve as mentors and collaborators to ensure health equity is fundamental to the research and not ornamental for academic success; (3) identify resources to enhance learning of methods that allow rigorous investigation of health disparities in older adults; and (4) discuss how to access funding opportunities to increase the chances of accomplishing research focused on equity.
