Innovation in Aging, 2025, Vol. 9, No. S2  \ncurriculum that integrates expertise across four academic hubs (Georgetown University, Wayne State/University of Michigan, UCLA, and University of Maryland). This expansive curriculum is designed to be hybrid in format, with pre-recorded lectures, live mentoring sessions, a resource library, and opportunities for early career scientists to present and receive feedback on their interdisciplinary work and pilot funding. In addition to a robust focus on cancer and aging biology, cognitive health, interventions, and social determinants of health, I-REACH also notably incorporates the lived experiences of older cancer survivors and caregivers throughout the curriculum. Scientists are mentored to conduct person-centered research that addresses stakeholder needs more effectively. Preliminary evaluation data demonstrates improvements in scholar research self-efficacy, collaborative partnerships, and grant development success. I-REACH offers a replicable model for training programs addressing complex health challenges requiring multidisciplinary approaches and meaningful stakeholder participation, with valuable insights for institutions developing similar initiatives.  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.2537  \nDEVELOPING INTERDISCIPLINARY TRAINING FOR  \nSCIENTISTS IN CANCER, AGING, AND DISPARITIES  \nRESEARCH  \nJamie Mitchell1, Elena Flores1, Chiranjeev Dash2, Lucile Adams-Campbell3, Peter Lichtenberg4, Jason Umans3, and Jeanne Mandelblatt3, 1.
