Healthy ageing is not determined solely in the laboratory – but by the wider context surrounding it.

The best research into prevention and healthy ageing only helps people once it has been incorporated into the healthcare system: recognised, measurable and fundable.

No one is going to establish this political framework on their own. PRIMA is working on it – as a non-profit and independent organisation. To do this, we need people and organisations to support us.

START

Research & Evidence

Geroscience and preventive research provide reliable knowledge.
GAP

Policies

Recognition as an indication, validated biomarkers, a reimbursement framework for prevention – this joint groundwork is often lacking.
PRIMA comes in
GOAL

Making a difference to millions

Better care, fairer access, healthier years of life.

It is only the right framework that enables research to have an impact – at the point where decisions on access are made.

Whether an innovation reaches people rarely depends solely on the laboratory, but rather on the regulatory and health policy environment. This framework does not emerge of its own accord – it must be actively shaped.

And it is a public good: a recognised pathway to healthy ageing benefits everyone – science, healthcare and society – but no single stakeholder funds it on their own. That is precisely why we need a neutral institute, dedicated to the public good, to coordinate this work. That is PRIMA’s role.

What your support makes possible

PRIMA translates scientific findings into political reality – through concrete measures that have an impact extending beyond individual projects.

1. Winning the political battle

We are launching a parliamentary group on healthy ageing and prevention in the Bundestag and are involved in European and international partnerships – to ensure that prevention remains a permanent fixture on the agenda.

2. Translating knowledge into standards

Through standardisation work (DIN), we ensure that findings on prevention and healthy ageing are translated into verifiable, compatible rules – the foundation for quality and trust.

3. Strengthening the right to health

Through publications and initiatives – such as those aimed at enshrining health in the Basic Law – we are working to establish prevention as a mandatory objective, not merely an optional extra.

4. Highlighting good practice

With our award for outstanding prevention and healthy ageing, we recognise pioneers and create role models that others can look to for inspiration.

What you can count on

Our independence is not a side effect, but the foundation of our credibility.

Independent

Support does not confer any influence over content. We do not advertise individual products and do not engage in any quid pro quo – we represent the public interest, not individual interests.

Charitable

PRIMA gGmbH is recognised as a non-profit organisation (Section 60a of the German Fiscal Code). Funds are channelled into the work set out in our articles of association. We will issue a donation receipt upon request.

Transparent

We are open about what we know and what we do not know – and where there is still some way to go from evidence to policy. Rigorous analysis takes precedence over promises.
