Research

How individuals age will continue to be greatly impacted by the medical and health research being conducted today. While living well and exercising is important, many American are also counting on research to find new and better ways to treat, diagnose, prevent, and cure a number of diseases and disorders that present themselves as a person ages. The National Institute of Health (NIH) is key to advancing this research.

The Alliance for Aging Research believes that providing appropriate funding for the NIH is the only way that our country will be able to meet the health care challenges confronting it. Rather than debating how to cover the nation's health care bills, the dialogue needs to shift to how we prevent those bills in the first place. With the aging of the Baby Boom generation, this is more urgent than ever.
