The cost of implementing SENS, a detailed research plan to demonstrate rejuvenation in old mice, is between $1 to $2 billion over 20 years.
Of the NIH budget, much less than 1% goes towards ways to intervene in aging I'm sorry to say. The NIA yearly budget is ~$1 billion, and of that very little has anything to do with actually altering the course of aging.
- gte910h 13y agoSENS is really fishy. Computer people I know love the idea. Biological research people I know think the guy is talking out his ass and hand waving most of it. I do think aging based research is the future, I just worry that SENS is a boondoggle that could put us off aging research permanently. Organ printing is getting sizable investment right now. That will do a good job at a lot of problems.
