Operate to promote social welfare through scientific research and education by providing financial support for otherwise unfunded research in cryobiology, interventive gerontology and cryonics.
Biomedical Research and Longevity Society Inc concentrates on otherwise unfunded work in cryobiology, interventive gerontology, cryonics, organ preservation, vitrification, ischemia mitigation, and resuscitation science. The foundation’s recent record is built around repeated support for a small set of specialized research organizations, especially 21st Century Medicine Inc in Fontana, California, which received multiple awards from 2023 through 2025. Another recurring recipient is Stasis Foundation in Comfort, Texas, reflecting the society’s interest in cryonics and related preservation research that is difficult to place through government or institutional channels. Its stated purpose is to promote social welfare through scientific research and education by providing financial support for research in these fields. The grantee list shows a strong emphasis on scientific research and education rather than broad public programming, with awards going to laboratories and research-focused entities such as Advanced Neural Biosciences Inc, Biostasis Technologies Inc, Suspended Animation Inc, Nectome Inc, and Biopreservation Institute. The pattern suggests a funder that works with technically specialized organizations pursuing preservation and longevity research across a narrow set of topics tied to biomedical stabilization and low-temperature science.
Cryobiology is central to the society’s grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $3,816,834 to 21st Century Medicine Inc for scientific research and education, and the same organization also received $3,599,394 in 2024 and $3,215,298 in 2023. That repeated support shows a sustained commitment to technical research rather than one-time project funding. The foundation also backs cryonics-related preservation work. Stasis Foundation received $990,000 in 2023, $900,000 in 2024, and $500,000 in 2025 for scientific research and education. Related grantees include Suspended Animation Inc in Lake Forest, California, and Biostasis Technologies Inc in Brooklyn, New York. Interventive gerontology appears in the stated program areas as well. Resurgence Biomedical Sciences Inc in Boynton Beach, Florida received $1,275,000 in 2025, along with $500,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2023, all for scientific research and education.
Typical awards are large: the 25th percentile is $215,276, median grant size is $577,763, and the 75th percentile is $735,221. The recent grant list shows repeated support to the same specialized recipients across multiple years, including awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025 to several organizations. That pattern fits a research funder making ongoing project support rather than isolated one-off gifts. The foundation funds organizations, not individuals, and it makes program-related investments. Its active programs explicitly say unsolicited applications are not accepted.

Grants are national, and all of the recent grants shown went to U.S. recipients. Florida is the top state by grant count, with recipients in Boynton Beach and Fort Lauderdale, and the foundation’s overall recipient base is concentrated in a handful of research hubs: Fontana, California; Comfort, Texas; Brooklyn, New York; Portland, Oregon; and Vancouver, Washington. The listed recipients span multiple states rather than a single regional cluster.
Its stated focus areas include cryobiology, cryonics, interventive gerontology, organ transplantation and preservation, vitrification, ischemia and hypothermia research, and resuscitation science. The active programs also describe support for cryoprotectants, organ preservation, and suspended animation research.
Recent grants are substantial. The grant-size distribution shows a 25th percentile of $215,276, a median of $577,763, and a 75th percentile of $735,221.
No. The active grant programs state that unsolicited applications are not accepted, and the society instead provides direct funding to specialized research organizations and scientists.
It funds organizations and researchers through direct grantmaking, and it does not fund individuals. The beneficiary profile in the data centers on scientists and researchers, research institutions and laboratories, and academic faculty.
Its geographic scope is national, and all recent grants listed went to U.S. recipients. Recent award locations include Fontana, California; Comfort, Texas; Brooklyn, New York; Portland, Oregon; Vancouver, Washington; and Boynton Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
