The award presentation will take place during GSA's 57th Annual Scientific Meeting, which is going to be held November 19th-23rd, 2004 in Washington, DC. The meeting is organized to foster interdisciplinary interactions among gerontological health care clinical, administrative, and research professionals. The actual conferral will occur in the Wilson B-M room of the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel on Sunday the 21st at 1:45 p.m.
