Julie Martin Mid-Career Award in Aging Research
Deadline: December 15, 2014 Designed for outstanding mid-career scientists who propose new directions of high importance to biological gerontology. Projects that are high risk but high yield are particularly encouraged if they have the potential for leading to major new advances in our understanding of basic mechanisms of aging. Projects investigating age-related diseases are also supported, but only if approached from the point of view of how basic aging processes may lead to these outcomes. Projects concerning mechanisms underlying common geriatric functional disorders are also encouraged, as long as the...

Glenn/American Federation for Aging Research Scholarships for Research in the Biology of Aging
The deadline for applications for the 2015 awards is January 15, 2015. It is a well-known fact that America’s population is aging dramatically – it is estimated that 20% of the population will be 65 years of age and older by 2030. This aging population poses unique scientific and medical challenges that must be met if people are to live long, healthy, and productive lives. Significant research findings in the biology of aging can lead to advances that help people live longer and healthier lives. In order to continue to attract new generations of talented investigators, the Glenn/AFAR Sc...

Glenn/American Federation for Aging Research Breakthroughs in Gerontology Award
Deadline: December 15, 2014 Making the connection between aging research and disease or disability prevention has become increasingly important as the global population ages. Substantial resources have been directed to research on the biology of aging through public and private support. The field has yielded measurable results that have improved our understanding of the biology. Early discoveries are now showing potential for prevention of many diseases of aging simultaneously. Although medical research has accomplished much, there is a growing scientific consensus that its effectiveness would be e...
