Please write Lori.Hunter@colorado.edu, co-Director of the Center, by Oct 3rd if you are interested.
The University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Health Incentives and Behavioral Economics (CHIBE) invites abstract submissions for the 15th Annual Behavioral Science and Health Symposium, to be held November 13–14, 2025, at The Study at University City Hotel in Philadelphia, PA. This annual event convenes experts across disciplines to present research and insights at the intersection of behavioral science and health.
Submission Deadline: August 5, 2025
Notification: Authors of selected abstracts will be notified by August 25, 2025.
We welcome work spanning behavioral economics, health policy, clinical decision-making, public health interventions, and other related areas. Presenters will have the opportunity to share their research with a dynamic, cross-sector audience of academics, practitioners, and policymakers. For more information about the symposium, visit here.
Questions about the symposium may be directed to the event coordinator, Samantha Fellman, at safellm3@upenn.edu.

Access major healthspan and lifespan datasets
The ELITE Portal centralizes unique data, as well as analytical and other research resources from NIA-funded studies on exceptionally long-lived individuals and cross-species studies in animal models. For example, multidimensional datasets from projects like the Long Life Family Study, Longevity Consortium, Longevity Genomics, and Integrative Longevity Omics are available in a secure environment.
The portal encourages researchers from different fields such as evolutionary biology, gerontology, genomics, and beyond to join collaborative work toward innovations in healthy aging therapeutics and novel intervention targets. Investigators exploring exceptional longevity can use ELITE’s vast, multifaceted data to find multiomics profiles, uncover new molecular pathways, pinpoint potential breakthrough drug targets, and contribute to the next wave of novel interventions.
Explore multiple types of exceptional longevity data
More data types are added regularly to the ELITE Portal, meeting its commitment to NIH data management and sharing policies, including the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (FAIR) principles. ELITE is also ready for use in training machine learning and artificial intelligence models.
Inside the ELITE Portal you will find:
Multiomics data: comprehensive genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic information
Tissues: diverse tissues, including induced pluripotent stem cell lines derived from long-lived individuals and organoids
Descriptive text: contextual information, metadata, and documentation to support data interpretation and usage
Phenotypic details: key information about physical, biochemical, and physiological traits, including cognitive and digital assay data
Comparative biology resources: substantial multiomics data from over 60 animal species and multiple tissues, facilitating cross-species comparisons
Integrative analytical tools: scalable tools, cloud computational space, and resources for data integration and analysis to discover molecular features contributing to exceptional healthspans
How to connect to the ELITE Portal
It’s easy to get started exploring the ELITE Portal, but you must create an account to download data. You can also subscribe to the ELITE Portal newsletter to stay informed about upcoming workshops, data challenges, and new discoveries from exceptional longevity researchers.
