The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is offering the Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program (CITP) grant to identify pharmacological interventions capable of robustly increasing lifespan and/or healthspan. This grant is for researchers interested in testing promising compounds using multiple Caenorhabditis species and/or diverse Caenorhabditis elegans strains. The primary purpose is to accelerate the discovery of effective interventions by assessing their efficacy across various genetic backgrounds, mimicking human population diversity. This approach aims to identify broadly effective treatments by leveraging the short, well-studied lifespan of Caenorhabditis models, thereby advancing research into aging and health.

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. |
