Purpose: This meeting is designed to be a multidisciplinary gathering of researchers and statisticians at all stages of their careers. The meeting is open to all. The three-day conference agenda offers both presentations and collaborative discussions, emphasizing statistical leadership, innovative study designs and statistical approaches and questions therein, and novel methods that can be applied to aging biology, with an emphasis on fostering the full continuum of translational science. Our objectives include 1) highlighting methodologic and statistical approaches that can be leveraged to answer questions in aging biology, 2) fostering collaboration among statisticians, methodologists, and geroscientists to solve statistical questions that will advance the field, and 3) identifying and supporting emerging leaders in the field through lightning talks and awards, fostering an environment of mentorship and recognition.
