Welcome to the Gerontology Research Group (GRG). As a global non-profit scientific organization, we are dedicated to validating ages, recording, and researching supercentenarians — people who are at least 110 years old. With a history spanning 33 years since our founding in 1990, our passion lies in studying and creating knowledge about human longevity, healthy aging, and the lives of the oldest people on earth.
However, our vital research comes with significant costs. Maintaining our website, conducting research, and traveling great distances to meet the supercentenarians crucial to our studies all require substantial funding.
If you are in a position to support our work financially, we would be immensely grateful for your contribution. Your donation, no matter how symbolic, will help us continue our mission to advance the understanding of human longevity and healthy aging.
Thank you for considering supporting the Gerontology Research Group. Together, we can make strides in the field of gerontology and uncover the secrets to a long and healthy life.
