Helping us Achieve
our Goals
The Foundation for Aging
Studies and Exercise Science Research is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization
(Tax ID: 20-3793010) and contributions are tax-deductible to the extent
permitted by law. The Foundation recognizes that there has never
been a greater need for an understanding of how exercise, nutrition
and aging studies are interrelated and how many of these factors can
be manipulated to greatly improve the quality of life as one ages. Therefore,
the Foundation has established the following objectives:
(a) to carry on scientific
research in the public interest, and provide resources in support of
scientific research in the public interest, in the areas of aging studies,
exercise science, nutrition, and environmental physiology, including
promoting an interdisciplinary focus on such research and interaction
between researchers and students from various disciplines to utilize
theory, methodology, and experience to analyze aging, exercise science
and nutrition to provide knowledge and accessible programs that will
enrich the lives of citizens of all ages;
(b) to carry on scientific
research for the purposes of: (i) aiding in the scientific education
of college or university students, (ii) obtaining scientific information
to be published in treatises, theses, trade publications or other forms
that are available to the interested public, (iii) aiding and educating
the aging and elderly portion of the population to encourage the development
and implementation of healthy exercise and nutritional habits by the
aging and elderly portion of the population as well as the general public;
(c) to release, provide and
make available the results of the Foundation's research to the public
on a nondiscriminatory basis;
(d) to instruct the public
on the subjects of aging, exercise science, nutrition and environmental
physiology to demonstrate and educate the public on the latest scientific
knowledge in these fields and the usefulness and benefits of exercise
and nutrition, including through establishing and maintaining teaching
and research projects for undergraduate and post-graduate students,
laboratory development and research, development and maintenance of
a library of research resources devoted to the subjects of aging, exercise
science and nutrition to act as a clearinghouse for dissemination of
information on such subjects;
Each year The Foundation
for Aging Studies and Exercise Science Research provides grants in support
of research focusing on these objectives. Of particular interest is
helping promising young students gain vital research experience and
foster in them a desire to seek careers in these critical areas of science.
The Foundation Advisory Board
meets each year to review grant applications after receiving them in
March. The dedication and commitment of the Advisory Board is essential
to the implementation of this rigorous review process.
The Foundation Board of
Directors is dedicated to the management, growth and acquisition of
resources necessary for the Foundation to fulfill its mission. The Foundation
for Aging Studies and Exercise Science Research actively seeks gifts
from individuals, corporations, foundations and other partners interested

creation. It is recognized that, without the leadership demonstrated
by donors like you many of the activities of the Foundation would cease.
