ORCATECH Pilot Grant Programs for 2011-2012

The Oregon Center for Aging & Technology (ORCATECH) offers annual pilot funding opportunities to improve technology and translate that technology into useful tools to improve health and maintain independence in our aging population. ORCATECH focuses on two key reasons for loss of independence among the elderly: decline in cognitive function and decline in mobility. Several areas of related focus are encouraged for this request, but applications are not limited.  Up to three projects will be funded at $50,000, with additional indirect costs.
