The Glenn Foundation for Medical Research aims to extend the healthy years of life through research into the mechanisms of aging. Focused on understanding the biology of aging and its implications on healthspan, the Foundation collaborates with entities like the American Federation for Aging Research to support pioneering projects in this field.
The Glenn Foundation for Medical Research Postdoctoral Fellowships in Aging Research, conducted in partnership with the American Federation for Aging Research, aims to encourage the careers of postdoctoral fellows engaged in research on the basic biology of aging and its translational applications. The program supports projects that not only seek to understand the fundamental mechanisms of aging but also those with direct implications for human aging, potentially leading to clinical strategies addressing healthspan and aging-related diseases. Consideration extends to studies on geriatric functional disorders like frailty, provided they explore how basic aging processes contribute to such conditions. The program anticipates awarding up to 10 one-year grants in 2023, with each grant amounting to $75,000, to cover salary and research-related expenses in pursuit of these objectives.
