AGS submitted comments in response to the request for information on the Framework for the National Institutes of Health-Wide Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2027-2031.

In our response, we highlighted the importance of building on our scientific understanding across the lifespan and enhancing translational research to strengthen care delivery and systems in the real world for all of us as we age. AGS encouraged an interdisciplinary research framework and workforce as well as a robust infrastructure for dissemination and communication about research to the scientific community and the public.
