NIA's mission, in part, is to determine which areas of scientific and medical research will yield the most benefits for antiaging research and therapies.
As part of that, they will be formulating a five-year priority plan to determine where those research funds will go. In the description of the five-year priority plan, NIA states that they have already determined that Alzheimer's represents a priority. It could be that if someone could make a good case for telemorase research, HGH, or other areas that interest us, more funds might get channeled to that.
