Description
The Glenn Foundation for Medical Research Discovery Award supports research projects with strong potential to produce pioneering discoveries about the biological mechanisms that govern normal human aging and its related physiological decline. Established by the Glenn Foundation and administered by the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR), the award advances understanding of how aging processes relate to age-associated health decline.
The program welcomes relevant proposals from any branch of biology and specifically seeks principal investigators whose expertise can bring new perspectives to aging research, including those who have not previously worked in the field. Past supported projects have explored inflammation and healthspan, tissue memories of inflammatory experiences, hypothalamus aging, neuronal rejuvenation, rejuvenation of aged stem cells, and noncoding translation in aging.
