NIH Report on Geroscience to Congress, encouraged by AFAR Amplifying Geroscience Initiative, Now Available

In response to advocacy efforts by AFAR through its Amplifying Geroscience Initiative, Congress urged the NIH in 2022 to issue a report that describes “current NIH research focused on geroscience and future plans in this area.”

We are pleased to announce that NIH submitted the report to Congress in the fall of 2023. The 16-page report provides an overview of NIH-wide efforts, examples of NIH-funded research, and a summary of future opportunities.
