About the Nash Fellowship
Two-Year Special Doctoral Fellowship Announcement in Advocacy for the Elderly

This fellowship was donated by an HOD doctoral faculty member and Faculty Fellow in Creative Longevity and Wisdom in memory of her mother, Frances Nash.

Background on the Initiative
One of the major human development trends identified in conjunction with Fielding's research to define the next 25 years for our University is the changing age demographics in American and European society. The good news is that many of us may live to be one hundred years old or more. The challenge is how we will use this new opportunity and how might our organizations and society respond to these changes. The "Creative Longevity and Wisdom" Research Group is a forum around which Fielding is organizing opportunities for new research, a variety of special projects, academic programs and hopefully a physical center of excellence where people come together to address some of these new opportunities and challenges.

Criteria for Fellowship
The goals and the purpose of this fellowship is to promote research and practice in the area of advocacy for the elderly. We intend this fellow to work closely with the planning team to help write and seek grants for funding our creative and longevity fellowships and initiative for future years.
