Funding to Support Career Advancement in Aging Research in Massachusetts (USA)
GrantID: 70835
Grant Funding Amount Low: $125,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $125,000
Summary
One grant track offers $150,000 over one to two years for junior faculty to pursue research in basic aging biology. Another track supports postdoctoral researchers with one‑year awards of $75,000. A larger “discovery” award is also available, providing $525,000 over three years for ambitious projects in aging biology. In addition, there is a “new investigator” program providing $375,000 over three years to support early-stage labs in geroscience research.
Eligibility generally excludes established senior faculty, and projects must align with fundamental aging biology rather than disease‑only approaches. Institutions must be nonprofit, academic, or governmental; commercial or for-profit institutions are not eligible. Awards are competitive and limited in number. Recipients are expected to carry out rigorous scientific work, produce publications, and submit periodic reports on their progress. Some programs support researchers who have not previously worked in aging, provided their proposed work has strong relevance to aging biology.
In summary: This grant opportunity is meant to nurture rising scientific talent in aging and longevity research. It offers several tiers of support (from postdoctoral to discovery levels), is available at U.S. institutions (and select Canadian), and is reserved for individuals rather than organizations. The funds are intended strictly for research expenses, salaries, lab costs, and project‑related resources—not general organizational support.
