Helping us Achieve our Goals…

The Foundation for Aging Studies and Exercise Science Research is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.  The Foundation recognizes that there has never been a greater need for an understanding of how exercise, nutrition and aging studies are interrelated and how many of these factors can be manipulated to greatly improve the quality of life as one ages. Therefore, the Foundation has established the following objectives:

(a) to carry on scientific research in the public interest, and provide resources in support of scientific research in the public interest, in the areas of aging studies, exercise science, nutrition, and environmental physiology, including promoting an interdisciplinary focus on such research and interaction between researchers and students from various disciplines to utilize theory, methodology, and experience to analyze aging, exercise science and nutrition to provide knowledge and accessible programs that will enrich the lives of citizens of all ages;

(b) to carry on scientific research for the purposes of: (i) aiding in the scientific education of college or university students, (ii) obtaining scientific information to be published in treatises, theses, trade publications or other forms that are available to the interested public, (iii) aiding and educating the aging and elderly portion of the population to encourage the development and implementation of healthy exercise and nutritional habits by the aging and elderly portion of the population as well as the general public;
