CALL FOR PROPOSALS: THE NATURE AWARDS HEALTHSPAN ACCELERATOR

The Awards & Grants office at the scientific journal Nature has recently launched a new Nature Awards Healthspan Accelerator which focuses on approaches increasing healthspan and longevity through medical devices, natural products, nutritional science and other tools.

The call is open to research group leaders who are thinking about translating their scientific discoveries into a commercial product. The idea or discovery doesn’t need to be far advanced - we have designed the programme to provide the first set of tools and support you would need for a successful commercial launch.

Four successful candidates will each receive a $10,000 cash grant and an immersive residential programme that takes place in London in June 2026. It is an excellent opportunity to engage with eminent scientist-entrepreneurs and explore the opportunity for commercial partnership.

Applications can be submitted online until December 10th, 2025.

More information can be found on the website.
