Funder: Wellcome Leap
Opportunity: Dynamic Resilience
Abstract Submission Deadline: May 25, 2023 11:59pm ET
Overview
The Dynamic Resilience program aims to support research that addresses key fundamental questions to drive the measurement, modeling, and testing capabilities needed to advance new methods of promoting healthy aging.
The Dynamic Resilience program has three Thrust Areas:
- Identify markers of physiological resilience in human populations that accurately predict health outcomes following a stress event.
- Identify causal biological mechanisms underpinning loss of human physiological resilience at multiple scales.
- Undertake human trials of interventions promoting physiological resilience in at-risk populations, targeting> 25% reduction in health deterioration (frailty progression, need for long term care, or death) within 90 days following a predictable clinically scheduled major stress event.
Please read the program announcement to better understand the program goals and further description of the Thrust Areas.
