Description
The Glenn Foundation for Medical Research (GFMR), in partnership with the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR), provides an additional year of support for highly promising work by current or former GFMR postdoctoral fellows. Continuation Awards support the continuation or expansion of previously funded research, as well as promising new avenues of investigation.
Projects must address basic mechanisms of aging or research directly relevant to human aging with potential to inform clinically relevant strategies for improving healthspan. Age-related disease research is considered when it examines how basic aging processes contribute to disease. Research on mechanisms underlying geriatric functional disorders, such as frailty, is also eligible. Strictly clinical projects focused on disease diagnosis or treatment, health outcomes, or the social context of aging are excluded.
