transcripts of a Congressional forum on March 17, 2003

With the impending age boom in 2010, our nation must have a healthcare system in place that is prepared for the millions of Americans who will be living with chronic diseases, and that is able to foster the development of future treatments to meet their needs.

The Institute opened its research facility in 1999. It was the first independent institution in the United States to respond to a call from the National Institute of Medicine to establish ten centers to study aging. The majority of the Institute’s funding now comes from federal grants, foundations, and donations.

Beryl Buck was trained as a nurse. Prior to her death in 1975, she asked that the Buck estate be used, in part, “to extend help toward the problems of the aged.”

"Survey Finds Surprising Results With Research Study Participants" discusses the concerns of participating in clinical research and how KLRI protects the welfare of study participants

KLRI differs from most research institutions because we have a wide range of scientific expertise and we focus on the overall effects of aging, rather than disease cures. Safety is also an important element to KLRI, as all studies are carefully performed and accurately communicated. Our scientists are experts in their fields and conscience driven to perform at their highest possible level.

KLRI is performing research to extend our healthy years by improving muscle strength, understanding the role of various nutritional components in our diets, and achieving a better grasp of human aging physiology.
