N1 - Funding Information: There is a notable tendency for fellows in training to become progressively less convinced of the value of the subspecialty/geriatric interface or of the viability of research in geriatrics as a career option. Given the high enthusiasm for incorporating geriatrics training into subspecialty fellowships, an obvious corrective solution (assuming one is needed) is to integrate geriatricians into the educational program and to emphasize the need and viability of career paths focused on the geriatric aspects of subspecialty medicine. It is encouraging that research in this arena is considered a viable option. In some respects, it is surprising that this option was not viewed more positively, given the demographics of the population. Most in need of correction is the notion that research funding is not readily available. In fact, this is one of the fastest growing areas or research emphasis, with multiple special funding mechanisms through federal and private sources (Brookdale, Pfizer, and Beeson awards; Hartford, Merck, and Ellison Foundations; AFAR [American Federation for Aging Research] and the National Institute of Aging [NIA]. Two good sources for funding opportunities are the American Geriatrics Society web page [ www.americangeriatrics.org ] and the NIA home page [ www.nih.gov/nia ]).
