More Than 150 Innovators Awarded in Global Competition Seeking Solutions with the Aim to Improve Healthy Longevity
The National Academy of Medicine (NAM), together with eight global collaborators representing over 50 countries and territories, announced the awardees of the 2021 Healthy Longevity Catalyst Awards.
These awards are part of the Healthy Longevity Global Competition, a multiyear, multistage, and multimillion-dollar international competition seeking potential breakthrough innovations aiming to extend human health and function later in life.
The NAM founded the competition and coordinates among a network of global collaborators, each administering a competition in their respective country or region. In parallel, the NAM also administers a U.S.-based Catalyst Award competition, for which approximately 500 innovators submitted applications in 2021. 25 submissions received Catalyst Awards from the NAM. Each awardee will receive seed funding to help advance their ideas and will be invited to attend the annual Innovator Summit in Washington, D.C., in Fall 2022 to share their work with policymakers, researchers, potential investors, and fellow innovators from around the world.
The next cycle of the Catalyst Phase opens in January 2022.
