Longevity Research Program | Division of Nutritional Science & Obesity Medicine | Washington University in St.
Louis A collaboration of Washington University School of Medicine and Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (RGA), the Longer Life Foundation has as its mission: To fund and support the study of factors that either predict the mortality and morbidity of select populations or influence improvements in longevity, health, and wellness.
For more than 20 years, the Longer Life Foundation has awarded Pilot & Feasibility grant funding to investigators with novel ideas for advancing their research addressing topics related to the Foundation mission. We look to fund research studying determinants of long-term prognoses for common human ailments.
Preference is given to clinical research that involves the potential for new discoveries rather than the implementation of existing therapeutic strategies. The Longer Life Foundation also funds studies that investigate methods to improve disease prognosis or prevent disease from occurring, thereby improving quality and quantity of life.
However, these studies should involve diseases specifically posing a risk or are known to shorten life expectancy. The Foundation is interested in individual pilot and feasibility studies as well as pilot projects that are a component of larger or established studies, such as analyses of existing databases.

I have been awarded an LLF P&F grant, but my invoices are not being approved (paid) (such as animal invoices, etc.) even though I submitted an approved IACUC. What should I do? SPA will need to be contacted to open up the appropriate spend category.
To do so, they will need an approved IRB and/or IACUC approval. SPA requires the following to be added to your P&F IRB and/or IACUC approvals: Longer Life Foundation – An RGA Foundation/WashU Medicine Collaboration Developmental Research Award Grant Number (refer to your award letter) Funds will not be distributed to awardees without this information.
I have been awarded an LLF P&F and I cannot complete the project with the first-year award monies. Can I apply for a second year for the same project? No. LLF P&F awards are for one year only.
I was awarded an LLF P&F and I cannot complete the project in the first-year timeframe and will have money left over at the end of the award. Can I request a no-cost extension for this project? No cost extensions are not automatic and require prior approval from the agency.
They are typically granted for extenuating circumstances only. Grantees requesting a no-cost extension must submit a brief progress report and justification for the extension. This report and justification should be submitted as a word document by August 31, 2026, to kmuehlha@wustl.
edu . How do I acknowledge support from the LLF? All published peer-reviewed research papers should acknowledge support from the “Longer Life Foundation: An RGA Foundation/WashU Medicine Collaboration”.

The far-reaching impact and rate of innovation in the computer and information science and engineering fields has been remarkable, generating economic prosperity, and enhancing the quality of life for people.More than a decade ago, the NSF Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (NSF CISE) established the NSF Expeditions program to provide the NSF CISE research community with the opportunity to pursue ambitious, foundational research agendas that promise to define the future of computing and information.Investigators are strongly encouraged to come together within or across departments or institutions to identify compelling, transformative research agendas that look ahead by at least a decade and promise disruptive innovations in computer and information science and engineering for the years ahead. Expeditions may advance a range of areas including, but not limited to, fundamentally new architectures for intelligence and the hardware and compute substrates that make them possible; rigorous physical and mathematical theories of how systems learn, generalize, and can be interpreted; neuroscience-inspired approaches to learning, memory, reasoning, and behavioral steering; intelligence embodied in the physical world through general physical intelligence, advanced robotics hardware, and novel architectures and learning paradigms for embodied systems; transformative approaches to next generation communication and networking; and high-risk, high-reward areas that no single discipline could pursue alone. Now funded at levels up to $15,000,000 over seven years, NSF Expeditions projects represent some of the largest single investments made by the CISE Directorate. These awards are designed to promote the formation of large, multidisciplinary research teams to address transformative foundational computing research problems. This reflects CISE’s recognition that achieving deep and lasting breakthroughs often require advances in multiple fields or sub-fields. Awards made through this program will complement research areas supported by other CISE programs. The program responds to core recommendations in the Administration’s Fiscal Year 2028 Research and Development Budget Priorities Memorandum that calls for foundational research in the physical sciences and engineering, including computer science. NSF Expeditions also supports longer grant durations for transformative research, giving scientists the time and autonomy to pursue bold, ambitious projects whose most important results may take years to emerge. Funding Opportunity Number: 26-525. Assistance Listing: 47.070. Funding Instrument: G. Category: ST. Award Amount: Starting at $15M per award.
Gates committed $540.2 million over a decade to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation — the largest gift in University of Washington history — while IHME's federal grant income falls from $7.3 million to a projected $4.8 million. The gift is a case study in the anchor-funder model: what it can do that federal money cannot, and the concentration risk it quietly underwrites.
Read articleThe U.S. Government Policy for Stopping High-Risk Life Sciences Research, released July 28, 2026 under EO 14292 and implemented at NIH through NOT-OD-26-101, replaces mitigation with prohibition. It bans dangerous gain-of-function research outright, gates potential DGOF behind government-wide review, and creates International Research of Concern — a research-security regime wearing biosafety clothing. Penalties run to five-year debarment and False Claims Act exposure.
