Is the NIH's National Institute of Aging - ITP Program Dead?

I am not on X. The ITP page for Supported Interventions does not seem to be up to date.

Does anyone have a link to a web page being continuously updated?

I have no direct knowledge but ITP could have been among the billions of health research defunded by RFK-Jr and the Trump administration.

If Rapamycin News leadership were to start a Go Fund Me to investigate the matter and get donations to fund the research, I’ll donate $1000 to continue the tests.

Every 6 months we could advertise the project and have a Go Fund Me drive to pay for the next series of tests.

I only noticed the issue due to the results on the ITP website not having been updated. A quick search of this forum produced some results back in 2024…again, the ITP page was not updated.

I would donate as well if a portion of the research activities were allocated to human research, at the least mammals broadly biologically similar to humans. Mice are favored because they are cheap and their environment can be controlled more easily than that of many other mammals. They were not chosen because findings generalize well to humans.
