	Supercentenarian Research Foundation
		The Supercentenarian Research Foundation (SRF) has been formed as an international non-profit organization to accept tax deductible donations that will be utilized to fund research into the biology of aging.
		The initial focus will be on supercentenarians (those who are at least 110 years old), their siblings, and offspring, but successively younger age groups will eventually also be investigated.
		Before research into methods of intervening in aging are conducted, diagnosis of the causes and effects of aging as exhibited in supercentenarians will be studied in order to determine 1) why they live longer than most, and 2) what limits their life span.

	Supercentenarian Research Foundation
		The mission of The Supercentenarian Research Foundation (SRF) is to promote scientific research into the causes of aging initially by funding investigations into its effects in supercentenarians (people who have attained the age of 110 years or greater).
		In addition to research of supercentenarians, the SRF may promote study of younger age groups that does not duplicate research already performed or being conducted by others.
		Particular attention will be given to close (first-degree) relatives (children, siblings, and parents) of supercentenarians for comparison with their aged kindred and with control groups.

		A supercentenarian (sometimes hyphenated super-centenarian) is someone who has reached the age of 110 years or more, something achieved by only one in a thousand centenarians (0.1%, based on European data).
		While claims of extreme age have persisted from the earliest times in history, the earliest supercentenarian who has substantial scholarly acceptance is Geert Adriaans Boomgaard, who was born in Groningen, Netherlands, September 21, 1788, and died there February 3, 1899.
		Over eight hundred supercentenarians have been documented in history, and this is doubtless a fraction of the number who have really lived, but the majority of claims to this age do not have sufficient documentary support to be validated.

		A supercentenarian (sometimes hyphenated as super-centenarian) is someone who has reached the age of 110 years or more, something achieved by only one in a thousand centenarians (based on European data).
		The earliest supercentenarian to reach the age of 113 is Delina Filkins, who was born on May 4, 1815 and died on December 4, 1928 in Herkimer County, New York, USA.
		However, subsequent research by some Japanese scholars has cast doubt on his claim, as his birth certificate is believed to refer to that of his older brother who died young and whose name might have been reused as a necronym.

		Over seven hundred supercentenarians have been documented in history, and this is doubtless a fraction of the number who have really lived, but the majority of claims to this age one finds recorded do not have sufficient documentary support to be regarded as validated.

	SuperCentenarians: A look at the longest living people in the world
		About eight hundred SuperCentenarians have been documented in history, and this is no doubt a fraction of the number who have really lived; but the majority of the claims of this age do not have sufficient documentary support to be regarded as validated.
		The SuperCentenarians seem to share a philosophy of the importance of being actively involved with life in a way that defines their purpose in still being on the planet.
		It also appears from the portraits and interviews on the SuperCentenarians that they have a unique ability to flow with life in a way that is outside of the cultural tendency to clock off time in a linear fashion.

		As we have learned through a decade of family interviews with dozens of Supercentenarians, extreme longevity is strongly inherited, meaning that the secret to their extreme age lies in their genes.
		That means we need to do DNA sequencing of all known Supercentenarians world wide, as soon as possible, while they're still alive (their chances of living even one more year is only 50:50).
		However, due to a preponderance of women in our Supercentenarian population (90 percent) and an attempt to equilibrate genders for statistical reasons, we will accept into our study any male 105 years or older (Semisupercentenarians is 105 or older) or any female 108 years or older.

	SENS 2: Abstract
		The Supercentenarian Research Foundation (SRF) is being formed as an international 501(c)(3) organization to accept tax deductible donations that will be utilized to fund research into the biology of aging.
		Supercentenarians are especially germane for this research because the confounding effects of age-related diseases are expected to have been reduced in this group by natural selection.
		Thus in addition to obtaining more autopsies to determine the cause of death of supercentenarians, "autopsies" of the aging process itself will be undertaken to elucidate which cellular alterations have resulted from aging.
