Longevity Science Foundation

Our Mission

Access to longevity-focused care is limited and exclusive. Due to inadequate funding, countless life saving interventions remain beyond reach for much of the global population. We aim to bridge this gap by funding innovation, accelerating the translation of longevity solutions into accessible treatments for everyone.

Female Fertility & Longevity

The Longevity Science Foundation (LSF) is pleased to announce a funding call to support innovative scientific proposals advancing female fertility and reproductive longevity. This initiative encourages proposals that focus on understanding and addressing the decline in fertility with age, with the goal of extending the biological clock and improving healthspan in women. By fostering breakthroughs in this field, we aim to bridge the gap between reproductive health and longevity science, paving the way for interventions that not only preserve fertility but also enhance overall well-being and quality of life for women.

Objective

The Female Fertility & Longevity grant call seeks research proposals that deepen our understanding of the aging female reproductive system, identifying strategies to preserve or rejuvenate ovarian function, thereby extending both reproductive and overall longevity in women. Proposals should include a clear plan aiming to provide accessible and actionable solutions that enhance reproductive health outcomes, with an emphasis on long-term societal and health benefits. Studies may investigate factors such as the mechanisms of ovarian aging and oocyte preservation, interventions that address hormonal, genetic, and epigenetic factors, innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, and the influence of lifestyle and environmental factors on fertility decline.
