GSA Interest Group meeting
SOCIETAL IMPLICATIONS OF DELAYED AGING
Saturday, November 23, 2013, 7:00 - 8:30 pm
Room Rhythm I (Sheraton New Orleans hotel)
Aging as a medical problem: is our message right?
Conveners: Leonid Gavrilov and Natalia Gavrilova
At last year’s meeting of this group, Felipe Sierra (NIH) discussed the GeroScience Interest Group (GSIG) initiative that he is spearheading, and which was showcased in a high-profile conference last month. The GSIG is an unprecedentedly powerful attempt to educate key decision-makers as to the relationship between aging and the diseases of old age. But will it, and similar efforts outside NIH, bring about real change in funding priorities? This year we will discuss several aspects of this critical issue for the future of gerontology research.

Graham Pawelec (University of Tübingen, Germany)
Funding of basic versus translational gerontology: the European perspective
Aubrey de Grey (SENS Research Foundation)
Summary:
- Jay Olshansky will discuss the recently published work led by Dana Goldman that further strengthens the economic case for funding aging research.
- Graham Pawelec will discuss the European public funding perspective. Is it now good or bad to talk about intervention in grant applications, to the media, etc, and why?
- Janko Nikolich-Zugich will talk about prospects for bringing US societies and organizations to work more coordinately on political communication, etc.
- Aubrey de Grey will say things about the way in which the prospects of intervention need to be discussed in order to turn fine words into actual money, in particular that we need to bite the bullet that cancer researchers did 40 years ago and actually predict time frames for therapeutic progress.
