Research

Grants by the Longer Life Foundation have supported hundreds of academicians and scientists engaged in fundamental research into longevity and health. LLF-supported research investigations produce groundbreaking results as well as substantial subsequent support by major research institutions.

Since LLF’s founding in 1998:

0

investigations have been funded.

0

peer-reviewed research articles have been published, citing LLF support.

Our Mission: The Longer Life Foundation’s mission is 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.
