The Gene D. Cohen Award, sponsored by the National Center for Creative Aging (NCCA), recognizes and honors the seminal work of Dr. Gene Cohen, whose research in the field of creativity and aging has shifted the conceptual focus from a problem paradigm to one of promise and potential. Dr. Cohen has inspired us to approach longevity asking what wonders can be achieved, not in spite of age, but because of age. The award is presented annually to a professional whose research in the field of creativity and aging demonstrates these positive attributes.

* Travel and lodging (limit to $1,000) to attend the GSA Annual Scientific Meeting

* A program profile included in GSA’s Annual Meeting Program, which will be distributed to attendees and posted on the ASA website.
* Recognition on the NCCA website
* Recognition by peers at an awards presentation
