About the Fund
We seek to support research on treatments that will improve and extend human life.
Treatments now potentially within reach may extend the human healthspan and improve quality of life.

In addition to the grants listed here, Open Philanthropy Scientific Research staff advises Good Ventures on research related to Alzheimer’s disease.
