This study examines the impact of support from grant making by the AARP Andrus Foundation on the institutional growth of gerontology programs from 1973 to 1992 and on the professional development of grant recipients. Faculty who were awarded grants in that time (N = 355) were mailed questionnaires to assess the impact of receiving an applied research grant from the AARP Andrus Foundation on gerontological instruction, research, program development, and profes sional development The 187 grantees responding (52.7%) identified both quantitative and qualitative outcomes from the grants, including promotion and tenure, advances in professional stature, opportunities to present research at professional meetings, opportunities to conduct nontraditional research, and the receipt of additional funding from other foundations and government agencies.
