Pre-Submission Webinar: 2025 NIA Start-Up Challenge and Accelerator to Stimulate Aging Innovation

For the third year, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) has launched the NIA Start-Up Challenge and Accelerator: Stimulating Aging Innovation. The goal of this challenge is to stimulate innovation and foster diversity in aging research and development by awarding cash and non-cash prizes — such as coaching, mentorship, and strategic resources and opportunities provided through an accelerator program — that will help participants overcome barriers to participating in life science entrepreneurship. 

This webinar will provide prospective submitters with an overview of the program, including guidance on eligibility, key requirements, and tips for developing a competitive submission. A moderated Q&A discussion will follow the presentation.
