Разные организации (фонды и ассоциации) по отдельным болезням могут привлечь огромные ресурсы,если убедить их в том, что борьба со старением в целом в их интересах.

The 2007 Task Force on Aging Research Funding--more than 85 non-partisan disease groups, patient advocates, and foundations--urges Congress and the President to chart a better course for medical research on behalf of America's aging population. This year's report of the Task Force calls for a 6.7% increase in funding for the National Institutes of Health in FY 2008. It also presents data on the burden of 27 diseases and conditions that predominately affect older Americans, highlights some of the exciting work the NIH is doing to decrease these burdens, and serves as a resource for policymakers working to establish the funding levels necessary to advance healthy aging.

Last, but not least, the World Integrative Research Initiative folder
contains the WIRI Agreement. This is a expression of good will that
integrative research projects are signing, so as to have a shared
agenda, but also to demonstrate that we are worldwide community.
If you want your consortium to subscribe this agreement, please write
to me directly.
A European Technology Platform (ETP) is a European network bringing together researchers, industry and other relevant stakeholders in a particular technological field in order to foster European research and development in the concerned area.
In a first phase, stakeholders of a specific area, led by industry, come together to agree on a common vision. The second phase is the defining of a Strategic Research Agenda, setting out the medium- to long-term objectives for the technology. In a third phase, stakeholders implement the Strategic Research Agenda with the mobilisation of significant financial and human resources.
Energetics consultants work with executives to define key business parameters and set strategic goals that will ensure future success. The resulting Vision provides the strategic framework that drives technology planning. We then engage experts in technology, science, and business to identify critical needs and develop technology pathways to fulfill the goals. The result of this effort is a Technology Roadmap that can guide technology decisions and investments for an organization or an entire community.
Technology roadmaps are used by many forward-looking organizations to develop technology strategies to achieve their long-term goals.
Energetics' technology roadmaps have been used to
Foster collaborative solutions to complex scientific and technological challenges
Draw upon the collective knowledge and expertise of science, business, and policy leaders
Uncover critical R&D and knowledge gaps
Prioritize promising technology solutions within distinct time frames
Outline strategies for supporting multiple solutions and pathways
Initiate partnerships that align and focus resources
Communicate clear science and technology priorities to a broad community
