AFAR receives $450,000 Grant from The Hearst Foundations to support Grants for Junior Faculty

AFAR is pleased to announce a $450,000 grant from The Hearst Foundations in support of the Grants for Junior Faculty program.

The Grants for Junior Faculty provide early career investigators with up to $150,000 for one to two years to support research focused on aging processes and age-related diseases. The Hearst Foundations' support will fully underwrite three Grants for Junior Faculty over the next three years.

This grant extends the longstanding collaboration between AFAR and the Hearst Foundations. Over the past twenty-two years, the Hearst Foundations has supported AFAR's research grants program with $1,350,000.

AFAR will announce the next Grants for Junior Faculty recipients in Fall 2024.
