ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS TO EXTEND HUMAN HEALTHSPAN - $50,000
New technologies promise to extend healthspan, but their development is hampered by poor communication between engineers and biologists. To speed technology development, these researchers propose to identify specific healthspan research areas that would benefit from engineer-biologist collaborations.

THE COMPARATIVE CELLULAR BIOLOGY OF AGING - $100,000
Mammalian lifespan varies more than fiftyfold. This researcher will establish a resource of normal and immortalized cultured cells from over 30 species to be shared between laboratories to study the comparative cellular biology of aging. The goal is to identify strategies to manipulate the process of limiting human healthspan.
