Biomedical Research – Research into Ageing

Research into Ageing supports high-quality biomedical research into ageing, including the biology of  cellular ageing and the most common health problems affecting older people, including neurodegeneration, cognitive decline, bone and joint conditions, sensory loss, wound healing, muscle wasting and stroke. We presently have a special initiative to promote research into incontinence.

Applications for cancer research will not be considered, nor do we consider policy, social, or health service evaluation.
