Description
The Glenn Foundation for Medical Research, in partnership with the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR), provides research and training support to help postdoctoral fellows establish careers in aging research. The fellowship supports work on the basic biology of aging and the translation of laboratory advances into clinically relevant strategies addressing human aging and healthspan.
Projects investigating age-related diseases are considered only when they examine how basic aging processes contribute to disease outcomes. Research on mechanisms underlying common geriatric functional disorders, such as frailty, is also within scope. Strictly clinical projects focused on disease diagnosis or treatment, health outcomes, or the social context of aging are not eligible.
