Elizabeth Necka

I'm Liz, Director of the Neuroscience and Behavioral Science of Mental Disorders and Aging Program at NIH. I shape what research gets funded and how findings get translated into programs and policy.

I have a PhD in social psychology from the University of Chicago and spent years as a program officer and branch chief at NIA and NIMH before my current role.

Ask me about: NIH funding, science policy, or social connection and aging
