Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $10,000
Summary
This funding stream supports the ability of early and mid‑career researchers and scholars to attend or organize conferences, workshops, or symposia that are focused on basic biology of aging. The grant is intended to offset costs such as registration, travel, poster preparation, or modest hosting fees, helping researchers share their findings, build networks, and stay current with developments in the field rather than conducting full research projects.
Eligibility is generally limited to individuals who are affiliated with research institutions (universities, nonprofit labs, etc.), usually at the postdoctoral or junior faculty level, though in some cases advanced graduate students may qualify. For an applicant to be eligible, the planned event must have a strong focus on aging biology, be scientifically robust, and ideally involve dissemination or exchange of original work (talks, posters, etc.). The hosting institution typically needs to be nonprofit or academic; for‑profit entities are usually excluded.
Award amounts are modest — enough to cover travel, lodging, registration, or related event costs — but are not sufficient to cover large scale project funding. Recipients may expect to receive several thousand dollars or less, depending on what portions of the event’s budget are reasonable and the number of applicants. Often this kind of grant is seen as supplemental, meaning a researcher may need to combine it with institutional support or other grants.
Grant applications usually require a description of the event, a breakdown of expected costs, evidence of relevance to aging biology, and a CV or academic profile of the applicant. Grant funds must be used in accordance with the proposed event, and recipients often report on their participation afterward (for example by sharing a summary or presenting their poster).
If you are located in Oregon and working in the area of Community Development & Services, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
