Glenn Foundation for Medical Research Postdoctoral Fellowship Continuation Awards

The Glenn Foundation for Medical Research (GFMR), in partnership with the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR), offers Postdoctoral Fellowship Continuation Awards for previous or current GFMR fellows whose research is deemed highly promising and who would benefit from an additional year of funding. Up to twelve one-year fellowships of $80,000 will be available in 2026. The awards support continuation or expansion of previously GFMR-funded research as well as promising new avenues of research. Projects must focus on understanding basic mechanisms of aging with direct relevance to human aging, showing potential for clinically relevant strategies that address human aging and healthspan. Projects investigating age-related diseases are considered only if approached from the perspective of how basic aging processes lead to these outcomes. Of the $80,000 award, a minimum of $62,652 must be used for salary, with the remainder available for research supplies, equipment, health insurance, travel to scientific meetings, and relevant research and educational training. Recipients are expected to attend the combined Glenn AFAR Grantee Conference and Glenn Workshop on the Biology of Aging.
