Grant Submission Process
Lifespan Research Institute has paused grant applications as we refine our vision and operations following our recent merger. A reformulated grants application process will be detailed on this page once this process is complete.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
SENS Research Foundation regularly funds external research with potential to accelerate the development of rejuvenation biotechnology. Applicants for financial support will be expected to clearly indicate the specific SENS target(s) addressed and explain how their proposed research would further progress toward therapies that remove, repair, replace, or render harmless that target. All proposals are reviewed and selected by our Research Development Committee (RDC), and its decisions are ratified by our Board of Directors. The RDC convenes quarterly. Submission due dates are as follows:
- First Quarter review: by February 1st
- Second Quarter review: by May 1st
- Third Quarter review: by August 1st
- Fourth Quarter review: by November 1st
How to Apply
Preliminary Letter of Intent
Prior to beginning the full grant proposal process, please submit a Letter of Intent application through Altum using the button below.
The application in Altum will request:
- A basic description of your research project,
- The SENS target to which it relates, and how the grant proposal would further progress on that target,
- Contact information for the Principal Investigator (PI) and associated personnel,
- Brief biographical sketch of the PI, using a template that can be downloaded from the Altum application and re-uploaded as a PDF,
- Location and company/organizational affiliation,
- Estimated total budget, and
- Any outside funding you have or expect to receive.
Letter of Intent Review
Letters of Intent will be reviewed by the RDC, and where applicable and appropriate the RDC will invite the submitter to continue with the grant proposal process outlined in the next section. Invited participants will then have one year to submit a full grant proposal through Altum.
