American Federation for Aging Research

American Federation for Aging Research provides funding to researchers, physicians, and medical students to conduct research and to help them begin and further careers in aging research and geriatric medicine. AFAR awards 35-40 scholarships and grants each year, selected through a rigorous review process led by expert committees. These grants support research along a continuum, from very basic studies of model systems, molecules and cells, to studies that are building on very early stage translational research addressing human aging and health span.
