Establishing the U.S. Aging Research Enterprise: Founding of the National Institute on Aging

Le résumé fourni par la source

There is much to celebrate this year as the National Institute of Aging (NIA) marks its 50-year milestone of ensuring that aging research is uplifted and prioritized. Founded in 1974, NIA is known for its work in supporting and funding research on the broad range of subjects involved in the human experience of aging. NIA’s support of researchers hailing from all scientific disciplines, studying aging across the life course, has contributed to improved health outcomes for us all as we age. Based on its progress over its first five decades, we are optimistic about what is to come as NIA leads the aging research enterprise over the next 50 years. Although the NIA of today is among the top funded National Institutes of Health (NIH) institutes, its establishment five decades ago was anything but certain. The fortitude of many individuals and organizations in advancing the idea of an institute dedicated to aging research has reaped benefits to the field that few could have imagined.
