The University of Washington Nathan Shock Center and Healthy Aging and Longevity Research Institute are soliciting applications to support pilot projects in the biology of aging. The projects should utilize the specific services provided by one or more of the UW Nathan Shock Center Cores. The awards are generally up to $10,000, depending on the specific needs of the applicant. View the RFA here.
Proposed projects must be collaborative, in that costs of studies that would be performed in the applicant's lab must be borne by the applicant, but costs associated with any part of the study that is performed at the Shock Center, including for example tissue procurement, processing, and shipping, will be borne by the Shock Center.

Tissues available through NIA’s Aged Rodent Tissue Bank
NIA has long provided biological resources to the biogerontology community to foster research on aging. The NIA established the Aged Rodent Tissue Bank (ARTB) as a source of fresh-frozen and fixed tissues suitable for multiple experimental protocols for research labs across the country.
The ARTB currently has an inventory of over 33,000 cryopreserved tissues from C57BL/6 and Balb/cBy mice, and Fisher 344 and Brown Norway rats, plus F1 hybrids of the respective species: CB6F1 and FBNF1. Several age cohorts are represented, including four, 12, 18, 24, and 32 month-old mice, and four, 12, 18, 24, and 28-month old rats. Limited tissue inventory is available from past collections of calorically restricted animals of the above strains as well as from B6D2F1 mice. Tissues from the ARTB are available to investigators at academic and nonprofit research institutions who are engaged in funded research on aging. For more details and to request tissues, please visit the website.
Many recordings and slides from the RCCN Workshop on Aging, Race, and Health Disparities are now available here!
