The National Institute on Aging is offering a grant to develop short-term tests assessing resilience in aging animal models, crucial for predicting healthspan. This grant aims to create tests capturing an organism’s ability to bounce back from physical challenges, paving the way to identify interventions that could enhance future health outcomes and longevity. By establishing standardized resilience measurement methods in young or middle-aged animals, researchers can potentially unlock strategies to promote longer, healthier lives. Applications for this grant close on February 2, 2017.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to develop short-term tests that provide a comprehensive measure of resilience in animal models used in aging studies. Resilience is defined here as the ability of an organism to respond to physical challenges or stresses and return to homeostasis. Increased resilience is believed to correlate with longevity and a longer health-span, but appropriate methodology to test this comprehensibly in animal models is currently lacking. The purpose of this FOA is to develop appropriate tests to measure resilience to physical, molecular and cellular stresses, as a prelude to being able to predict, using a panel of standardized short-term tests in young or middle-aged animals, whether interventions might lead to improved future health outcomes and longevity. |
