What the grant funds
This FOA is for the renewal and further development of the Interventions Testing Program (ITP). The ITP tests, under standardized conditions, potential intervention strategies which may delay aging in mammals. The effect on aging is measured by lifespan extension and/or delayed onset/severity of late life pathologies that can be attributed to the intervention. The ITP uses lifespan as a primary outcome. Secondary outcomes currently include geropathology assessment at old ages and pathology at time of death, functional phenotypes (e.g. measures of strength) and measurements of animal vitals at intervals across the lifespan.
