Accepted: 18 July 2021© American Aging Association 2021 three centers in 1995, the program has now grown to include eight centers as of 2020 (Fig. 1). The emphasis on basic research was a complement to the NIA’s Claude Pepper Older American Independence Centers program, which focuses on clinical research and care.From their original beginnings, which was to enhance research resources for institutions with already well-developed aging programs, the Nathan Shock Centers’ mission has both expanded and turned outward. The Centers’ missions now provide intellectual leadership and innovation for studying basic mechanisms of aging biology to the broader research community. This includes providing new state-of-the-art resources and technical guidance to researchers at institutions outside the Shock Centers network. In addition to leading the science, Shock Centers also support research career development for the next generation of leaders in aging research. Both goals are facilitated by pilot grant programs offered by all NSCs and that are open to early career investigators from any institution or investigators from allied fields who would like to transition their efforts to basic aging research. In addition, Centers provide workshops and seminars throughout the year that are open to the research community. For much of their history, while the NSCs traditionally operated essentially independent of one another, a major goal was to establish communication and collaboration among the centers. To facilitate that goal, in 2017 the NIA funded the Nathan Shock
