Cancer and Accelerated Aging Research at the National Institutes of Health, 2013–2023: A Grant Portfolio Analysis
This portfolio analysis showed an increase in the number of NIH-funded grants focused on cancer survivors and accelerated aging, but notable gaps are evident. Given the rapidly growing survivor population, many of whom will experience accelerated aging trajectories, there is a critical need to better understand accelerated aging phenotypes and mechanisms, so that those at the highest risk for adverse aging-related effects can be identified and interventions developed.
