National Institute on Aging – Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program (CITP) U01

The National Institute on Aging is offering cooperative agreements for investigators to participate in the Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program (CITP). This program aims to identify pharmacological interventions that can increase lifespan and healthspan across different genetic backgrounds using Caenorhabditis invertebrates. By testing in a species with well-studied lifespan, the goal is to accelerate the discovery of compounds that can potentially extend human lifespan and healthspan. Applications are accepted until November 7, 2012.

Additional Information

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	The National Institute on Aging (NIA) invites applications for cooperative agreements (U01s) from investigators or groups of investigators (e.g., multiple PD(s)/PI(s) capable of, and interested in, participating in a Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program (CITP). The goal is to identify pharmacological interventions that increase lifespan and/or healthspan in a robust manner when tested using multiple species of the simple invertebrate Caenorhabditis and/or multiple strains of Caenorhabditis elegans. Human populations are genetically heterogeneous and thus, in order to work in humans, any intervention that extends lifespan/healthspan needs to do so within a variety of genetic backgrounds. Testing of promising compounds in a variety of genetic backgrounds within a species with a short, well-studied lifespan and healthspan, should accelerate the current rate of discovery.
