mHealth, or mobile health, can play a significant role in promoting healthy aging by leveraging technology to support self-management of chronic conditions, improve physical activity, and enhance overall well-being and connection for older adults. Mobile technologies also at the forefront of personalized medicine, supporting proactive health management and can improve outcomes for various conditions.
To explore this unique intersection of cutting-edge technology and aging research, join the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) for a free webinar tailored for professionals in the scientific and entrepreneurial communities.

Available for Distribution - Rodents from NIA's Colony
The NIA Aged Rodent Colonies currently have an excess of mice (C57BL/6J, Balb/cBy, Balb/cBy x C57BL/6J F1) and rats (F344, Brown Norway, F344 x BN F1) of all ages (1-34 months). An active grant is not required to receive these animals, but please note that the animals are only available for investigators who are affiliated with legitimate non-profit U.S.-based research institutions.
Investigators who could use these animals should send a request to rodents@nia.nih.gov by June 30, 2025 with a completed justification for use of the NIA aged rodent colony. Requests will be fulfilled in the order received while supplies last.
