Increase Appropriations to the National Institute on Aging - Division of Aging Biology

By signing this petition, you support increasing the budget for the NIA-DAB to ensure the resources necessary to advance aging biology and geroscience research.

The Issue

The National Institute on Aging’s Division of Aging Biology (NIA-DAB) receives less than 1% ($440 million) of the total NIH budget ($48 billion), despite being at the forefront of research into the biological mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases. This limited funding constrains its ability to support innovative projects that could revolutionize how we address the challenges of health and aging.

Increased funding for the NIA-DAB would accelerate groundbreaking discoveries, foster innovative private and public collaborations, and drive the development of therapies to improve healthspan, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance quality of life for millions of Americans.

By signing this petition, you support increasing the budget for the NIA-DAB to ensure the resources necessary to advance aging biology and geroscience research. Together, we can transform the future of public health and aging.
