Popis: As a response to the growing need for increased numbers of trained employees infields related to aging, the Administration on Aging (AOA) funded a series of training grants. Beginning in 1967 and continuing for 15 years, the Center for Studies in Aging at the University of North Texas received AOA monies to help support students in the emerging field of gerontology. The results presented here indicate that the expenditure of federal grant monies for training has produced career-oriented individuals with both a high degree of involvement and a lasting impact on the field.
