Foundation Funding Opportunities
American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR)
AFAR, together with the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research, invites
applications for the Breakthroughs in Gerontology initiative. This
initiative is intended to support a small number of pilot research
programs that may be of relatively high risk but which offer significant
promise of yielding transforming discoveries in the fundamental biology
of aging. The hope is that one or more of the funded research projects
will lead to major new insights into the molecular factors that
coordinate aging in multiple cells and tissues and the ways in which the
aging process is differentially timed in long-lived species. One
two-year award of $200,000 will be made in 2008. Proposed research may
be conducted at any type of not-for-profit setting in the U.S.
Applicants must be full-time faculty members at the rank of assistant
professor or higher who have a strong record of independent publication
beyond the postdoctoral level. Applications are due Dec. 17, 2007. For
more information, visit http://www.afar.org/GlennBIG.html
