The Glenn Foundation for Medical Research and AFAR Grants for Junior Faculty do not provide support for:
Postdoctoral fellows in the laboratory of a senior investigator
Investigators who have received major extramural funding for research in any area as a PI or Co-PI (not Co-I) - such as an NIH R01, DP2, DP5, R35 or equivalent grant - prior to and including the start date of this award (applicants may hold K, K99/R00 or R21 funding, or NSF funding provided direct costs do not exceed $200,000 a year)
Senior faculty, i.e. at the rank of Associate Professor level or higher
Recipients of the Glenn and AFAR Grants for Junior Faculty and Sagol Network GerOmic Award
Applicants for the 2024 Glenn Foundation for Medical Research Discovery Award, and/or the 2024 Sagol Network GerOmic Award for Junior Faculty
Applicants who are conducting research at a for-profit institution, or at an institution outside of the United States
Alzheimer's Disease and/or related dementias research
Applicants from underrepresented groups in the biomedical sciences are strongly encouraged to apply.
Other info: The major goal of this program is to assist in the development of the careers of junior investigators committed to pursuing careers in the field of aging research. GFMR and AFAR support research projects concerned with understanding the basic mechanisms of aging rather than disease-specific research. Projects investigating age-related diseases are supported if approached from the point of view of how basic aging processes may lead to these outcomes. Projects concerning mechanisms underlying common geriatric functional disorders are also encouraged, as long as these include connections to fundamental problems in the biology of aging. Projects that deal strictly with clinical problems such as the diagnosis and treatment of disease, health outcomes, or the social context of aging are not eligible.
Applications Open in Fall 2024.
