Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet): SenNet Data Coordination, Integration and Organizational Center (U24 or UM1)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is announcing a funding opportunity for the Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet) Data Coordination, Integration and Organizational Center (U24 or UM1) as part of its efforts to advance research on cellular senescence and its implications for health and disease. This initiative aims to understand the biological consequences of senescent cell heterogeneity and to develop senotherapeutic strategies by integrating tissue mapping efforts with data to create comprehensive Atlases of Senescence. The program is critical for identifying tissue-specific senescence markers and enhancing health outcomes, with an estimated total funding of $3.4 million and approximately 25 awards expected. Interested applicants can reach out to Ajay Pillai at ajay.pillai3@nih.gov or by phone at 301.538.4811 for further information, with key deadlines including a synopsis post date on September 12, 2025, and a close date on November 13, 2025.
