AGE Research FCOI Policy: This policy outlines the funding strategies for the AGE organization to ensure sustainable support for young and adult researchers in aging-related fields. The document details specific channels and procedures to attract and sustain research funding, aiming to align with national funding agencies. It emphasizes building a supportive network among researchers and administrators to drive innovation in geriatric health research. By establishing these guidelines, the AGE aims to create an environment where promising projects have the necessary resources to advance before they become public knowledge. The policy also highlights partnerships with other organizations and universities to expand access to funding opportunities for diverse chapters.

Age Board Members: The AGE Board serves as the governance body that oversees the organization's operations and strategic direction. These individuals hold elected positions representing the interests and knowledge of all members. Their role extends beyond simple oversight to include guiding the research agenda, managing finances, and ensuring the safety and integrity of members and volunteers. Regular meetings with the board ensure that the organization remains aligned with evolving scientific priorities and community needs. This collective wisdom helps maintain the quality of research and ensures that the GeroScience program advances the field of aging studies effectively.

Fellows of AGE: Fellows are individuals who have demonstrated commitment and expertise in their research areas and are invited to participate in the organization's activities. They typically gain entry through the GeroScience Peer Review Training Program to build their own research credibility. Fellows play a crucial role in shaping the direction of the organization by contributing their insights and expertise to committees, panels, and meetings. Their active involvement ensures that the diverse perspectives of aging science are fully represented. Fellowship processes also serve as a pathway for those who wish to become board members, offering a clear path toward leadership roles.
