CVRF | Application Preview
The CVRF is seeking government grants to fund the creation and marketing of an audiobook version of "Aging and Health for the Elderly - Vol II," an updated edition reflecting new data post-COVID. The total funding requested amounts to $50,000, with $25,000 allocated for producing the audiobook and another $25,000 for distribution and marketing efforts.
Due to the creator's age of 85 and reliance on a limited income from a military pension and Social Security, personal resources are insufficient to cover these costs. The initial textbook was endorsed by the Johns Hopkins School of Preventive Medicine in 2021 and aims to address the specific medical needs of the elderly, particularly those with less formal education who may struggle with complex explanations.
The need for such a resource has become more evident due to the prior pandemic, where media had to clarify concepts like "underlying conditions" to the public. The audiobook seeks to present documented truths backed by clinical trials, enhancing understanding among older adults.
The project faces competition from social media health information, which can often be misleading or lacking evidence. In contrast, this initiative emphasizes established scientific truths and expert consensus tailored for elderly audiences. The competitive edge lies in the extensive experience of the creator, who possesses 60 years of expertise across various medical fields, ensuring that the content is both credible and impactful.
