Our Vision

As IA achieves recognition as a national and international leader in the field of research on aging through innovation, creativity and collaboration, the tangible benefits it offers will sustain excellent researchers-young ones as well as established world class investigators. IA will be influential in leveraging funding, developing strategic partnerships and informing public policy on aging.
