The American Federation for Aging Research is a national nonprofit organization focused on supporting and advancing healthy aging through biomedical research. Its work includes identifying and funding a broad range of innovative aging research to expand knowledge of healthy aging. The organization seeks to attract more physicians into geriatric medicine to meet the needs of an aging population, and it facilitates knowledge-sharing among scientists and clinicians to spur progress. It also informs the public about new medical findings that may help people live longer and healthier lives. AFAR is based in New York City, New York, and operates in the research services sector as a nonprofit with a small-to-mid-sized staff. In recent years, it has pursued collaborations to advance aging science, including a partnership with the Glenn Foundation to establish postdoctoral fellowships in aging research.
