It is great to see the new Call for Research Proposals for 2022 of the Israel Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology in the field of Health will focus on “the complementary subjects” of “developing drugs and medicines” and “preventive medicine”, while the purpose of preventive medicine is emphasized to be “prevention of diseases with an extension of life and improvement of the quality of life”, while the primary topic in the list of priorities is research on “healthy aging”!

The budget is expected to be up to NIS 25 million (~ USD 8 million) subject to resources availability. The maximum funding for a research project for the period of 3 years is NIS 750 K (USD 240 K).

The deadline for the pre-proposals’ submission by the researcher – 2.3.2022 (15.00); by the institution – 9.3.2022.

Full details on the proposal (in Hebrew)

This is in addition to the recent call for proposals of the Britain Israel Research and Academic Exchange on Ageing (BIRAX Ageing) that also emphasizes prevention of aging-related diseases and healthy aging, and is also supported by the Israel Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology. The estimated funding per joint research project is £400,000 over three years (NIS ~1.650 million or ~USD 530,000). The total grant program is currently estimated at about £1.6 million (NIS 6.6 million, or USD 2.1 million). Pre-proposals are due by April 4, 2022.

For the record, see also the earlier call for proposals of the Ministry of Science, on Healthy Aging, with a focus on genetics and epigenetics of aging of 2019.

Israel Ministry of Science and Technology will support longevity research with up to 10 Million NIS call for research proposals

And an even earlier call on “Scientific and Technological Infrastructure for the Senior Citizens” by the Ministry of Science of 2014, with the second call in 2016, that were also encouraged by longevity advocacy.

Hoping for further support for the research, development and education for the prevention of aging-related diseases, for healthy longevity and quality of life, so the field can bring results as soon as possible!

Happy to draw your attention to the publication of the second call for proposals under BIRAX Ageing – the Britain Israel Research and Academic Exchange Partnership on Ageing – a £multi-million initiative of the British Council and the British Embassy in Israel together with the Pears Foundation, the Israel Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, together with other partners and supporters, investing in world-leading research jointly undertaken by scientists in the UK and Israel, focusing on ageing and healthy longevity.

The first call, published in 2018, has awarded seven research projects focusing on intervention into aging and aging-related diseases, at a total cost of £2.8m.

The new call will award several more joint UK-Israel research projects on aging with grants of a value up to £400,000 over three years (~1.650 million NIS, or ~$530,000 USD). The total grant program is currently estimated at about £1.6 million (NIS 6.6 million, or $2.1 million), with possible changes. Initial applications are due by April 4, 2022.

https://www.britishcouncil.org.il/en/birax/call-for-proposals

This call for proposals is uniquely and pioneeringly based on principles of Geroscience, as its chief funding priorities include “Clear and direct relevance to the ageing process and age-related disease” and “Proposals for interventions in the ageing process in order to prevent or mitigate age-related disease”.  

Note the main 6 research priorities: 1) Ageing and Immunity; 2) Age-related Multimorbidity; 3) Cardiovascular disease and ageing; 4) Aging and progression of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes; 5) Neurodegenerative disease and ageing; 6) Age-related frailty and other geriatric syndromes.

https://www.britishcouncil.org.il/sites/default/files/birax_ageing_call_for_proposals_2021_0.pdf

This call for proposals also uniquely and pioneeringly promotes international cooperation in Geroscience, which will not only advance Geroscience in the UK and Israel, but can serve as an example to encourage more binational and international cooperation programs and projects!

Hopefully, more calls for research proposals on Geroscience will be issued soon, both nationally and internationally.

Good luck to all the participants! Complete details, instructions and online application form can be found in the link below.

https://www.britishcouncil.org.il/en/birax/call-for-proposals

Healthy Longevity – Tel Aviv – Nov 25 – rus

Toward Passover, Prof. Leon Peshkin and Ilia Stambler  discussed the need to raise support for longevity research to free ourselves from the burden of degenerative aging processes. Published in March 2021, in MosT – Moscow – Tel Aviv magazine (in Russian), entitled “Exodus as freedom from aging (PassOver the Old Age)”. Below is the full version – in Russian and English.

Полная версия статьи “ИСХОД. КАК ОТМЕНИТЬ СТАРОСТЬ?” опубликованной в МосТ – Москва – Тель Авив, Март 2021 – на русском и английском. 

ДОЛГОЛЕТИЕ.

ИСХОД КАК СВОБОДА ОТ СТАРОСТИ

Profile

Леонид Пешкин

Профессор Гарвардской медицинской школы, работает над созданием новой платформы по классификации воздействия веществ на продолжительность жизни. Несколько лет назад профессор Пешкин и его родители отдали свой геном науке для использования как единого стандарта в лабораториях по всему миру. Проект получил название «Джинн-ом в бутылке» и в терминах Леонардо да Винчи мог бы назваться «золотым сечением» человеческого генома. 

Profile

Илья Стамблер

Научный директор Израильской ассоциации «Ветек (старшинство) – движение за долголетие и качество жизни» http://www.longevityisrael.org/. Получил докторскую степень (PhD) в отделении науки, технологии и общества университета Бар-Илан, Израиль. Его исследования сосредоточены на исторических и социальных аспектах изучения долголетия, а также математическом моделировании старения и старческих заболеваний. Является автором книг «История идей о продлении жизни в двадцатом веке» и «Пропаганда долголетия: междисциплинарные перспективы».

Пасхальная история исхода из рабства, история освобождения, омоложения и выживания еврейского народа заставляет задуматься, в том числе, и о научных попытках освободиться от гнета дегенеративных процессов старения с целью продлить здоровую человеческую жизнь. МосТ попытался выяснить, так ли неизбежно старение с научной и метафорической точки зрения у генетика Гарвардской медицинской школы Леонида Пешкина и израильского исследователя долголетия доктора Ильи Стамблера.

עמותת ותק – התנועה לאיכות ואריכות חיים מתאבלת בצער עמוק על פטירתו של מייסדה וי”ר שלה – רפי איתן (נובמבר 23, 1926 – מרץ 23, 2019).  רפי איתן עד הרגע האחרון פעל למען החיים ולמען הכלל. כפי שהוא אמר פעם לגבי הארכת חיי אדם “אנחנו מנסים לפתח בנושא הזה טקטיקה ואסטרטגיה איך להביא לכך שישראל תהיה אחת המדינות המובילות בעולם באיכות חיים. הכוונה היא שעד הרגע האחרון לחייהם, בתקווה שיזכו לאריכות ימים, יהיו במלוא כושרם, גם הפיזי, אם אפשר, וגם הרוחני” . יהיה זכרו ברוך ונפעל כדי להגשים את צוואתו!

Vetek – The Movement for Longevity and Quality of Life profoundly mourns the passing of its founder and chairman Rafi Eitan (November 23, 1926 – March 23, 2019). Rafi Eitan, until the last moments of his life, worked for the sake of life and for the sake of all. As he once said about the extension of human life, “we are working to develop strategy and tactics how to make Israel one of the leading countries in the world in the quality of life. This means that until the last moment of hopefully long lives, people will remain in full physical and spiritual capacity”. Let his memory be blessed and we will work to fulfill his legacy!

לראשונה בתולדות המדינה: הכרה בזקנה כאתגר רפואי

הישג נוסף לארגון “נכה לא חצי בן אדם” בשיתוף עם עמותת “ותק – התנועה לאיכות ואריכות חיים”: המדינה תכיר בצורך בפתרון ארוך טווח לבעיית ההזדקנות במטרה למנוע מחלות תלויות גיל ולמנוע את קריסתן של מערכות הבריאות והרווחה לאור המספר ההולך וגדל של קשישים, זאת בזכות העלייה הצפויה בתוחלת החיים בעתיד הקרוב.

ביום שני ה-24.12.18 התכנסה בכנסת הוועדה המיוחדת לבניית תכנית אב לאומית בתחום הזקנה, בראשות ח”כ טלי פלוסקוב, במטרה לדון בסעיף מס’ 14 לתכנית – ״מחקר, פיתוח וחינוך לקידום אריכות חיים בריאים ומניעת מחלות זקנה״. 

הסעיף פורץ הדרך מתייחס למחלות הזקנה כתסמינים של הזדקנות לא בריאה ומציע תכנית מפורטת להבראת תהליך ההזדקנות, בכדי להרחיק במספר שנים ובמקרים מסוימים אף למנוע, מחלות תלויות גיל כגון: אלצהיימר, פרקינסון, דמנציה, סכרת, מחלות לב, סרטן ועוד.

התפישה האבחונית טיפולית בהזדקנות היא חדשנית בעולם וישראל פורצת דרך בתחום. התכנית כוללת שלושה שלבים, מחקר, פיתוח וחינוך. את התכנית מובילים ארגון ״ותק״ בראשותו של רפי איתן ובהובלתו של ד”ר איליה סטמבלר, וארגון ״נכה לא חצי בן אדם” בהובלתם של אלכס פרידמן וחנן טל.

בדיון השתתפו מדענים מובילים בתחום בישראל ובעלי תפקידים בכירים. הדיון צפוי לתרום תרומה משמעותית לקידום מחקר, פיתוח וחינוך לאריכות חיים בריאים ומניעת מחלות זקנה ולשיפור מעמד התחום החיוני הזה בסדר העדיפויות הציבורי.

הודעת ועדת הכנסת כולל מאמר העמדה בנושא “מחקר, פיתוח וחינוך לקידום אריכות חיים בריאים ומניעת מחלות זקנה”

For the first time is Israel: Aging is recognized as a medical challenge

An additional achievement by the “Disabled, not Half a Person” association, in cooperation with “Vetek (Seniority) – the Movement for Longevity and Quality of Life”: The State of Israel will recognize the need for a long-term solution for the aging problem, with the aim to postpone aging-related diseases and prevent a collapse of the health care and welfare systems in view of the increasing number of the elderly, due to the anticipated increase in the life expectancy in the near future.

On Monday, December 24, 2018, there took take place in Knesset a special hearing of the Knesset Committee on the National Masterplan on Aging, headed by the Member of Knesset Tali Ploskov, to discuss the special section 14 of the National Masterplan on Aging on the subject of “Research, Development and Education for the Promotion of Healthy Longevity and Prevention of Aging-related Diseases”.

This pioneering section addresses aging-related diseases as manifestations of unhealthy aging and proposes a detailed program to combat degenerative aging processes, in order to postpone by a number of years, and in some circumstances even prevent, aging-related diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Dementia, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and others.

The diagnostic and therapeutic approach to aging is cutting edge in the world and Israel is breaking the ground in this field. The program includes 3 stages: research, development and education. The program is advanced by the “Vetek (Seniority) – the Movement for Longevity and Quality of Life” headed by Rafi Eitan and led by Dr. Ilia Stambler and the “Disabled, not Half a Person” association led by Alex Friedman and Hanan Tal.

The hearing involved leading scientists in the field, senior officials and decision makers. The hearing is expected to significantly contribute to the promotion of research, development and education for healthy longevity and prevention of aging-related diseases and raise the priority of this field in the public agenda.

Special discussion of the Knesset Committee on Science and Technology for the first time for the “Strengthening of research and development for improving the quality of life and longevity and prevention of aging-related diseases” on July 9, 11.30

בשם העמותה אנחנו שמחים לבשר כי עמותת “ותק” עברה שינוי שם. במקום השמות הקודמים – “המבוגר האחראי (ע”ר)” ו”ותק – תנועת האזרחים הוותיקים (ע”ר)” כעת אושר השם הרשמי החדש:

ותק – התנועה לאיכות ואריכות חיים (ע”ר)

כמו כן, אושרו מטרות חדשות לעמותה והן:

 – לפעול וליזום פעולות להארכת תוחלת החיים של האדם המבוגר.

 – לפעול וליזום פעולות לשיפור איכות החיים של האדם המבוגר.

– לממן וליזום מחקרים להארכת תוחלת החיים של האדם המבוגר ולשיפור איכות חייו.

כולנו תקווה כי העמותה תפעל בהתאם לשם החדש כתנועה אמתית למען אריכות ואיכות חיים, ותקדם את המטרות של הארכת תוחלת חיים בריאים באמצעות קידום מחקר ופיתוח, לאדם המבוגר ולמעשה לכול אחד.

עמותת ותק תמשיך בשיתוף פעולה הדוק עם העמותה הישראלית להארכת חיים (ע”ר) וארגונים אחרים בארץ ובחו”ל בעלי מטרות דומות.

In the name of the association, we are happy to announce that the association has officially changed its name. Instead of the previous names – Hamevugar Haachrai (The Responsible Senior) and Vetek (Seniority) Association – The Senior Citizens Movement, the new certified name is:

Vetek (Seniority) – the Movement for Longevity and Quality of Life

In addition, new goals were approved for the association, namely:

– To act for the extension of life expectancy for the older persons.

– To act for the improvement of the quality of life of older persons.

– To initiate and fund scientific research for the extension of life expectancy of older persons and for the improvement of their quality of life.

It is our hope that the association will act in accordance to its new name and become a true movement for the sake of longevity and quality of life, for the extension of healthy life expectancy through scientific research and technological development, for older persons and in fact for everyone.

The Vetek association will continue its strong strategic partnership with Israeli Longevity Alliance and other organizations in Israel and abroad, acting for the similar goals.

Quantified Longevity Guide (QLG) is an on-going project of the Israeli Longevity Alliance (ISRLA) in cooperation with Vetek (Seniority) Association – the Senior Citizens Movement (Israel)

http://www.longevityisrael.org/quantified-longevity-guide/

This is a dynamic multidisciplinary research and development project dedicated to mathematical diagnostic modeling of aging and aging-related diseases, for the purposes of their early preventative and personalized therapy.

Quantified Longevity Guide develops a practically applicable and at the same time sophisticated expert software system for indication of physiological age, for early diagnosis of aging-related ill health and personalization of aging-related and healthspan extending treatments. The system will facilitate early detection and corresponding preventive early treatment of major aging-related diseases (such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease and diabetes), based on the assessment of physiological age.

The main advantage of the proposed system is in terms of methodology: Providing an integrated approach that takes into consideration the non-linear interrelation of a multitude of parameters – biomarkers and intervention factors, using information theoretical measures, such as entropy and mutual information, rather than linear statistical measures.

The resulting analytical software system will use the methodology of information theory that will uniquely allow the selection of the most beneficial and economical individual factors and factors’ combinations for combating chronic age-related diseases and increasing the health span, indicating physiological age as a cost-effective method of preclinical diagnosis for a variety of chronic age-related diseases, while enabling long-term evaluation and prediction of effectiveness of individual and combined therapies.

The QLG project is a recognized commitment at the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Aging (EIP-AHA) within the action group: A3 Lifespan Health Promotion & Prevention of Age Related Frailty and Disease

https://ec.europa.eu/eip/ageing/commitments-tracker/a3/quantified-longevity-guide-qlg_en

The results of this project have been presented in numerous scientific publications, in journals such as Progress in Neurobiology (impact factor – 14.1), Aging and Disease, Cancer Detection and Prevention, Mechanisms of Aging and Development, Geroscience and other journals.  

http://www.longevityisrael.org/quantified-longevity-guide/

The results of this project have also been presented at international conferences on aging and diseases of the International Society on Aging and Disease (ISOAD) in Beijing, China, in 2014, Stanford, US, in 2016, and Nice, France, in 2018 and other conferences. 

http://www.isoad.org/Data/List/Conference

Now the project has received a strong boost with Mr. Alon Braun joining the project leadership team as an operation and research advisor. With Mr. Braun joining the team, the project will be able to employ advanced management and decision-making techniques as well as place a stronger emphasis on cognitive evaluation (such as short-term memory) in its panel of diagnostic and predictive markers of aging and aging-related diseases.

Alon Braun is an entrepreneur and online marketing guru and business accelerator strategist. Alon is best known for identifying growth strategies using technology and data. He was recently named #1 among Top 30 international entrepreneurs in the world by Entrepreneur Magazine. 

Alon Braun started his career as a programmer in the Israel Defense Forces. During this time, he built his first startup, Webstare, which was founded by Apple Israel.

After his service, Braun joined the Hebrew University faculty of earth sciences where he received his master’s degree in oceanography. From there, he specialized in plant molecular biology, marine microscopy, and paleontology.

Alon is a master at decision making, especially helping people make difficult decisions. One of the ways he helps is by understanding cognitive hacks that allow persons to maximize their cognitive load capacity, such that people who have to make complex long-range decisions involving factors which are difficult to measure, can make those decisions optimally and simply using his techniques.

Welcome aboard Alon and looking forward to the successful development and implementation of the Quantified Longevity Guide project!
