NIA Interventions Testing Program

US National Institute on Aging

This work helps identify interventions worth taking into human studies and shows where promising ideas fail before people are exposed to them.

WHAT IT IS TRYING TO CHANGE

What the project is doing

NIA Interventions Testing Program is being developed as part of the wider effort to prevent, delay or repair age-related decline.

What this could do for you

This work helps identify interventions worth taking into human studies and shows where promising ideas fail before people are exposed to them.

What has to happen next

The next checkpoint is a reproducible result strong enough to justify human testing.

What could stop it

Results in cells or animals often fail in people, and the route to a safe human treatment can take many years.

WHERE IT STANDS

Current evidence and outlook

NIA Interventions Testing Program is being developed as part of the wider effort to prevent, delay or repair age-related decline.

Likely path

Often 8–15 years or more from broad availability.

Why this estimate

Many laboratory and animal projects never reach people.
