About Conferences & Workshops Awards

Support is provided on a competitive basis for conferences and workshops for dissemination of information relevant to basic biological research toward understanding lifespan development processes and age-related diseases and disabilities. The expectation is that this sharing of knowledge will expand the scientific pool of researchers and benefit the scientific community in aging research as a whole.
