Longevity Impetus Grants is a grant from the Rosenkranz Foundation and Hevolution Foundation that funds ambitious, high-impact longevity science research. The program supports projects challenging assumptions in aging biology, developing new tools and methodologies, discovering ways to reverse aging processes, and building systemic perspectives on aging.
It emphasizes speed and low bureaucracy, with grant decisions typically made within three weeks of submission. Eligible applicants are scientists at any career stage, including independent investigators and those new to aging research. Awards of up to $500,000 are available, with no fixed application deadline; submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis.

Bold longevity research. Fast. 34M USD deployed for aging science and clinical trials ~1% of donations spent on overhead 3 weeks average time from submission to decision Impetus Grants provides funding for scientists to start working on what they consider the most important problems in aging biology, without delay.
Such work should not be held up by red tape: we offer grants of up to $500k, with decisions made within 3 weeks. Our review process asks "what's the potential for impact" rather than "could this go wrong".
Our goal is to have a broad impact on the field, by supporting projects that challenge assumptions, develop new tools and methodologies, discover new ways to reverse aging processes, and/or synthesize isolated manifestations of aging into a systemic perspective.
To ensure that we learn from every project, we’re organizing a special issue of GeroScience to provide an opportunity to publish both positive and negative results from funded studies. Highlights: Impetus-funded projects Modular, programmable RNA sensing using ADAR editing in living cells Evidence that conserved essential genes are enriched for pro-longevity factors Could aging evolve as a pathogen control strategy?
