Funding Aging Research…
Impetus Grants is our in-house fund for high-risk, high-reward research. We provide up to $500k within 3 weeks for scientists to start working on the most important problems in aging biology.
-
Since inception in 2021, Impetus has funded 146 projects with over $34 Million USD in funds.
In our most recent, Round 3; we reviewed over 1000 applications and gave out close to $10M for 34 selected projects.
-
All academic/non-profit researchers are welcome to apply including trainees and students, from anywhere in the world.
Grants have been awarded to professors, postdocs, graduate students, and more, many projects coming from labs that are new to the aging space.
-
We fund high-impact projects with the potential to accelerate the field but are typically unlikely to get funding through existing institutions.
This includes non-research projects and ones that stress-test assumptions in aging, develop new tools and methodologies, discover new ways to reverse aging processes and ones that translate preclinical findings.
-
Our ability to create an impact in aging biology is powered through donations. Visit our Donate page to learn more about Impetus and our current impact.
