Too much of our time is spent battling disease.
By targeting the mechanisms of aging directly, we can extend health and delay disease.
We know your choices for what to do with your time are endless: let us show you a career path, rich with opportunities and meaning.
The Time Initiative’s mission is to activate students' interest in aging biology, which aims to extend years of health and delay age-related disease.
We nurture passionate and talented students’ early commitment to aging research and their excitement for innovations, by supporting them with knowledge, resources, and mentors to accelerate their growth into the next leaders of the field.
OUR MISSION
Virtual or in-person! Come join our community and meet people like yourself, that are interested in the potential of the science to extend health and transform what aging will be for future generations.
COME TO AN EVENT
APPLY FOR THE TIME FELLOWSHIP
The Time Fellowship is for the brightest and most ambitious people committed to creating a world with less age-related disease.
We are proud to be an AFAR initiative
The American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) is a national non-profit organization that supports and advances pioneering biomedical research that is revolutionizing how we live healthier and longer. For more than four decades, AFAR has served as the field’s talent incubator, providing more than $193 million to nearly 4350 investigators at premier research institutions to date—and growing. A trusted leader and strategist, AFAR also works with public and private funders to steer high quality grant programs and interdisciplinary research networks. AFAR-funded researchers are finding that modifying basic cellular processes can delay—or even prevent—many chronic diseases, often at the same time. They are discovering that it is never too late—or too early—to improve health. This groundbreaking science is paving the way for innovative new therapies that promise to improve and extend our quality of life—at any age.
