We're thrilled to be helping 15 promising young academics conduct research that will help transform the health of our society.
The studies being funded cover topics including dementia, heart disease, menopause, inflammation and much more.
With funding from public bodies and universities increasingly difficult to secure, institutes like the BSRA are essential in making sure that research like this can still be done.
We're honoured to be supporting them in any way we can.
We're also grateful to you, our community, for making it possible to keep funding health research. Thanks to your support, 15 young researchers now have the opportunity to make important discoveries in longevity.
Professor David Weinkove, Chair of the BSRA, said:
“Funding is the main obstacle for the progress of research on ageing. Therefore, as Chair of the British Society for Research on Ageing, I am delighted that DoNotAge.org, through their financial support, have allowed us to fund 15 small research grants, making a total of 18 grants funded in the 2026 round.
That is 600% more than we normally fund and supports more of our members to do more excellent research, increasing the chances of a major breakthrough. Each small project has the potential to lead to much bigger advances in understanding the biology of ageing, and ultimately helping us all live healthier and longer lives.”
Alan Graves, Founder and Clinical Research Advisor at DoNotAge.org, said:
“It’s fantastic that DoNotAge.org is funding 15 excellent research projects. I have seen the winning candidates’ proposals and can’t wait to see what they discover over the course of their research.
DoNotAge.org exists for this reason. Reversing biological ageing is the greatest challenge faced by humanity this century and it’s shocking how little funding it receives. I want to thank the DoNotAge.org community for continuing to support this research, and thanks to BSRA for facilitating this partnership."
Thank you again for making this possible through your continued support.
We'll keep you updated as the research progresses.
