NAM Healthy Longevity Global Competition

The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) is accepting applications for the 2022 cycle of its U.S.-based Catalyst Awards as part of the Healthy Longevity Global Competition.

Applications will be accepted from January 17, 2022, through February 28, 2022.

To help address the world’s rapidly aging population, the NAM launched the Healthy Longevity Global Competition: a three-phase awards program designed to identify and support bold, innovative, and potentially breakthrough ideas to improve health as people age. Catalyst Awards eligible projects aim to improve the mental, physical, or social health and well-being of individuals and can focus on any stage of life, as long as they ultimately promote health for people as they age.

U.S.-based individuals and teams from all fields, backgrounds, industries, and specialties are encouraged to apply. Up to 25 innovators will each receive a cash prize of $50,000 plus travel costs to attend the annual Global Innovator Summit in 2023. All applicants advancing to the final stages of the Catalyst Award review process are automatically considered for subsequent funding in the form of an Accelerator Award, the second phase of the Global Competition. Winners of the previous rounds of NAM Catalyst Awards have backgrounds in public service, computer science, clinical medicine, biomedical research, public health, and more.
