The National Institutes of Health will award up to $4 million over five years to establish a coordinating center for research on aging. Led by the Tulane National Primate Research Center and developed in partnership with the California National Primate Research Center and Baylor College of Medicine, the coordinating center will focus on advancing aging research through studies of nonhuman primates.
The Coordinating Center for Primate Aging Research will unite leading researchers to build a comprehensive infrastructure for aging studies, emphasizing the harmonizing and integration of data across multiple projects.
The center will facilitate collaboration by creating working groups and a dedicated platform for sharing data, best practices and research findings.
