American Federation for Aging Research 12/17/2018 https://www.afar.org/research/funding/afar-research-grants/ Rita Allen Foundation 12/17/2018 Glenn Foundation for Medical Research and AFAR Grants for Junior Faculty The Rita Allen Foundation and the American Pain Society's 2019 Award in Pain http://americanpainsociety.org/uploads/funding-opportunities/2019%20raf%20guidelines%20.pdf The Glenn Foundation for Medical Research and AFAR provide up to $100,000 for a oneto two-year award to junior faculty (M.D.s and Ph.D.s) to conduct research that will serve as the basis for longer term research efforts on the biology of aging. These investigators study a broad range of biomedical and clinical topics related to aging. The major goal of this program is to assist in the development of the careers of junior investigators committed to pursuing careers in the field of aging research. GMRF and AFAR support research projects concerned with understanding the basic mechanisms of aging rather than disease-specific research. Projects investigating age-related diseases are supported if approached from the point of view of how basic aging processes may lead to these outcomes. Projects concerning mechanisms underlying common geriatric functional disorders are also encouraged, as long as these include connections to fundamental problems in the biology of aging. Projects that deal strictly with clinical problems such as the diagnosis and treatment of disease, health outcomes, or the social context of aging are not eligible. The RAF and APS may award two grants for $50,000 annually, for a period of up to three years to those research proposals demonstrating the greatest merit and potential for success. The entire award is to be allocated to projects specifically chosen by the recipient. Overhead is not supported. Proposed research projects should be directed towards the molecular biology of pain and/or basic science topics related to the development of new analgesics for the management of pain due to terminal illness. Eligibility Must have received committed start-up funds and independent laboratory space from their institution and this information must be clearly indicated in the Chair's letter of support for the candidate. Should be in the first three years of their appointment. Should be appointed to tenure track or equivalent position at their respective institution but not have received tenure at the time of the application. 788 785 Monday, October 15, 2018 Page 3 of 8

Priority will be given to research focused on characterizing early events in osteoarthritis and how these might be affected by joint injury; increased understanding of disease initiation and the factors that drive disease; identification of specific acute injury mechanisms that may contribute to the increased likelihood of disease progression, providing a potential interventional target; the optimization of treatment time courses to determine the validity of a mono or multi-therapeutic approach; the evaluation of epigenetics and its potential to delay degenerative disease post-injury through modulation of gene expression; and/or the evaluation of new potential chondroprotective agents, with a focus on agents/drugs that have prior FDA approval or could get fast approval. AOSSM, in partnership with Sanofi, offers a research grant program to fund investigations related to early osteoarthritis (OA) and/or prevention of OA progression. This grant reflects the growing recognition of the importance of osteoarthritis within sports medicine and orthopaedics. The grant will be for $50,000 to support either a clinical research study or a lab/basic science project. Proposed studies need not relate specifically to sports injuries and should also have broad applicability to OA in the general population. Projects involving viscosupplementation will not be considered. Applications will be reviewed for their potential impact on the field, the quality of study approach, and ability of investigator and site(s) to conduct and complete the proposed research. The Principal Investigator or at least one co-investigator on all applications must be an AOSSM member who has completed his or her training. It is expected that grantees will submit the results from their funded study to AOSSM for podium presentation and to AJSM for publication. In a collaborative effort, the Arthritis National Research Foundation (ANRF) and the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) are seeking grant applications that focus on studying the underlying mechanisms by which aging processes contribute to the development of arthritis. Studies are encouraged on the role of one or more of the hallmarks of aging that include mitochondrial dysfunction, genomic instability, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, deregulated nutrient sensing, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, telomere attrition and altered intercellular communication. Successful applications will utilize cell, tissue and animal model systems or human populations that allow for the study of the aging aspects of the condition of interest. Applicants may request up to $100,000 in direct costs only. The project period in response to this RFP is for one year. 654 789 Monday, October 15, 2018 Page 4 of 8
