With your help, the BSRA can lead the science of lifelong health, helping everyone live healthier lives for longer. Thank you!

Our Six for 2026 fundraising campaign gives you the opportunity to directly support a promising young researcher. Please help us fund six travel grants, six summer studentships and six small research grants in 2026. These small grants can help launch a career! 

The BSRA will be hosting its 75th Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) in Oxford. Every year we rely on the generosity of sponsors to make the event happen. Join us in Oxford to network with 200 young and established researchers in the ageing research field, and help us make it an event to remember!

One of the best ways to support the BSRA is to become a member. Our 200+ members come from over 55 UK institutions, as well as overseas institutions and industry. The BSRA is the best place to network across the ageing research field: join us! 

The BSRA runs a series of online Academic Seminars for members from June – July each year, and a series of online and in person Public Seminars across the year. Support our work by sponsoring an individual seminar – or the whole series! 

What is ageing?

Although ageing is not itself a disease, it carries with it with an increased risk of many life-threatening diseases and shares several biological mechanisms that are important in the development of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and dementia. Thus, if ageing can be delayed it should also be possible to also delay the development of disease, increasing longevity and minimising poor health in old age.

What is our research strategy?

The BSRA is committed to funding, supporting and disseminating high quality research into the biology of ageing. Support is available for active researchers with substantive posts at any UK institution or research institutes which are interested in the biology of ageing and who would normally be eligible for membership of the BSRA.

Why donate?

Your donation will help us continue our work to understand the biology of ageing and to develop knowledge that can support healthier ageing for all.
