A simple and easy way to make your voice heard is by signing our petitions. Each petition focuses on a unique aspect of longevity we’re advocating for. It’s quick, easy and makes a difference!
The Advanced Approval Pathway for Longevity Medicines aims to incentivize the development of longevity therapies by aligning economic benefits with public health improvements.
This proposal includes a plan to merge the National Institute on Aging (NIA) into a new Dementia Institute, raising concerns within the longevity and geroscience community.
By signing this petition, you support increasing the budget for the NIA-DAB to ensure the resources necessary to advance aging biology and geroscience research.
Grassroots efforts like ours have the power to shape the future of longevity science and human health. To make real progress, we need a united community advocating for change and engaging policymakers—those who set the rules and drive legislation impacting the longevity industry.
By inspiring policymakers and showcasing the potential of geroscience, we can gain allies in high places to advance our mission of enhancing health and extending lives.
The Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI) invites you to contact your local congressional representative and encourage them to join the Longevity Science Caucus. To make it easy, we’ve provided a customizable letter template below. Add your personal touch and let your voice be heard.

On June 14, 2024, Chair Cathy McMorris-Rodgers proposed reforms for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), including renaming the National Institute on Aging (NIA) to the National Institute on Dementia. While reform is necessary, this change risks undoing decades of progress in aging biology.
To protect and advance this critical work, A4LI has proposed the creation of the National Institute for Healthy Longevity and Aging Research (NIHLAR). This new institute would bolster aging biology research, drive innovative solutions, and turn scientific breakthroughs into accessible therapies for all.
Our proposal was submitted to the Energy and Commerce Committee on August 16, 2024, and has already gained 500+ signatures. Now, we need your help to build momentum. Sign our proposal and share it with your network to show policymakers the urgency of this initiative.
Your signature amplifies our collective voice. Together, we can influence decision-makers and ensure aging research remains a priority. Let’s shape a healthier future—one signature at a time.
The Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI) is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization whose mission is to advance legislation and policies that aim to increase healthy human lifespan, with a focus on accelerating equitable access to next-generation therapies.
Dear Congressman/Congresswoman [Last name of local rep],
My name is [your name] and I am a resident of [your city or Congressional District], part of your constituency. [Thank your representative for their work]
[Your position and a personal note here about why longevity science is important to you.]
Support for this industry has the potential to revolutionize the future of our healthcare system and requires immediate and proactive policy. Our society is experiencing a significant demographic shift towards an older population, bringing both challenges and opportunities. The aging population places pressures on our healthcare system due to the high costs of managing chronic, age-related diseases and the impact on our economy. The emerging field of geroscience and longevity science offers a promising approach to addressing this demographic crisis.
Geroscience, or commonly referred to as “longevity science,” is a multidisciplinary field of research that intersects biology, genetics, and medical science. Its focus is on understanding the complex mechanisms of aging at the cellular level, with the aim of developing therapeutics to slow down or even reverse this process.
The potential benefits of these developments are immense, including not only improved quality of life for individuals but also the realization of a “longevity dividend” for our economy. This refers to the economic and societal benefits reaped from extending healthy human lifespan, including a healthier, more productive older population and reduced healthcare expenses.
To realize this potential and ensure these therapeutics can be accessed by all, I implore you to join the Longevity Science Caucus, led by Congressman Gus Biliraks and Congressman Paul Tonko. By joining, you will be taking a significant step towards supporting these initiatives and positioning our district at the forefront of this transformative industry. For further details on this emerging field, we encourage you to visit the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI) website.
Thank you for your attention and consideration. I look forward to seeing [your Congressional District] be a leader in the longevity science industry’s effort. [Respectfully request a response/meeting if you desire].
Best Regards,
