New ideas in aging and resilience research launched by Rosenkranz Foundation and Knight Initiative | Knight Initiative The Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience at Stanford’s Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute has contributed to funding four innovative new research projects among eight newly awarded by the Rosenkranz Aging and Rejuvenation Seed Grant Program.
Funded by the Rosenkranz Foundation, these grants provide early-stage funding for visionary researchers at Stanford to test new or unconventional ideas with the potential to transform our understanding of the aging process and open new avenues for promoting resilience, repair, and rejuvenation.
The program’s first call for research proposals in Fall of 2025 generated scores of exciting proposals — many more than could be funded in a single round of grants. However, with the added partnership of the Knight Initiative, the program will be able to support more research projects than initially envisioned.
The newly funded projects are creative and wide-ranging, from attempting to rejuvenate youthful brain plasticity using magnetic stimulation to charting declines in genome organization and epigenetic memory in aging brain cells.
“We are excited to announce the outcome of this grant opportunity, and grateful to the Knight Initiative for making it possible to support more of these exciting research projects,” said Anne Brunet , the Michele and Timothy Barakett Endowed Professor in the Department of Genetics at Stanford Medicine, who led the Rosenkranz grant call with Knight Initiative Director Tony Wyss-Coray .

A new Partnership for Public Service report documents 118,000 science-related federal departures between September 2024 and February 2026 — Forest Service and NSF down a third, SAMHSA down 42 percent. Project grant obligations from science agencies dropped 24 percent from 2024 to 2025. On June 3, Johns Hopkins announced a $60M annual Research Resilience Fund. Here is what the data and the institutional response mean for grant applicants.
