About Hevolution Foundation Us
Hevolution Foundation US is focused squarely on advancing geroscience and translational aging research, demonstrated by a single large grant supporting the Buck Institute. Their giving prioritizes building research capacity and accelerating the translation of basic aging biology into interventions that extend healthy lifespan.
Focus Areas
Translational geroscience research (moving lab discoveries toward clinical application)Building research infrastructure and novel geroscience initiatives at dedicated institutesAccelerating development of therapies and interventions to extend healthy human lifespanStrategic, high-impact investments in aging biology centers and networks
Who They Fund
older adults/aging populationbiomedical researchers and research institutions (e.g., Buck Institute)
Giving Approach
Highly concentrated: a single, very large grant to one research institution, suggesting strategic, large-scale investments (likely capital or programmatic scale) rather than many small or diversified grants.
About Hevolution Foundation Us
Hevolution Foundation US made a single 2025 grant of $6,582,413 to The Buck Institute for Research on Aging for building novel geroscience initiatives and accelerating translational geroscience at the institute and beyond. That award captures the foundation’s core pattern: concentrated support for aging biology research that can move from basic science into interventions aimed at healthspan. The organization’s stated priorities include geroscience, translational aging biology, biomarker and therapeutic development for aging, and research infrastructure at dedicated institutes and networks. The foundation’s program architecture reinforces that focus. It runs public grant opportunities for aging biology, geroscience, clinical research, new investigators, and related policy or regulatory studies, alongside targeted fellowships and country-specific initiatives. In Saudi Arabia, it has launched postdoctoral training and competitive grant programs for citizens and faculty at academic and research institutions. It also partners with the American Federation for Aging Research on investigator awards. Across these programs, Hevolution Foundation US emphasizes capacity building, collaborative research, and support for scientists and institutions working on the biology of aging.
What Hevolution Foundation Us Funds
Aging biology is a central theme in the foundation’s grant programs. Through its philanthropic research grants and public RFAs, Hevolution Foundation US funds work in basic biology of aging, geroscience, new investigator support, and clinical research related to healthy aging. The Saudi Arabia-focused programs add another layer. The Hevolution Kingdom Grant Program supports biomedical research related to aging and healthspan science inside Saudi Arabia, while the Open Call for Grants Application in Saudi Arabia supports faculty at academic and research institutions working on aging biology and geroscience. Talent development is also explicit. The 2024 Hevolution Foundation Saudi Arabia Postdoctoral Fellowship for Aging Biology & Geroscience supports Saudi citizens with PhD or MD/PhD training, and the postdoctoral training program in geroscience supports doctoral graduates moving into postdoctoral work in the US, Canada, the UK, or Europe. Hevolution also uses partnerships to support investigator-level work, including its collaboration with AFAR for investigator awards in aging biology and geroscience.
