--- title: Submit to the Longevity Medicine Contest | Cureus Blog description: Submit longevity research to the Cureus contest by October 16, 2026, and explore example articles spanning aging biology, prevention, and clinical care. --- [Cureus Blog](https://blog.cureus.com) # [Submit to the Longevity Medicine Contest | Cureus Blog](https://blog.cureus.com/longevity-medicine-call-for-submissions) Written by [Cureus Team](https://blog.cureus.com/author/cureus-team) | Sep 29, 2026, 3:00:01 PM Cureus is accepting longevity medicine research from every medical specialty through October 16, 2026. Eligible submissions can examine established clinical advances, emerging anti-aging interventions, safety concerns, biomarkers, preventive care, or other research focused on helping people live longer, healthier lives. *Submissions must meet Cureus publishing guidelines and may be subject to Preferred Editing fees, where applicable.*   If your research examines how medicine can help people live longer or healthier lives, it may fit the Cureus Longevity Medicine Call for Submissions Contest. The contest is open to all medical specialties and accepts original articles, review articles, case reports, and technical reports through October 16, 2026. Longevity medicine extends well beyond anti-aging therapies. It includes established clinical advances that improve lifespan or healthspan, such as developments in cardiology, oncology, surgery, transplantation, preventive medicine, and chronic disease care, as well as emerging research into senolytics, regenerative medicine, aging biomarkers, peptides, and other longevity interventions. ## **What research fits the Longevity Medicine contest?** The scope is intentionally broad. Research may examine lifespan, healthspan, or medical interventions that influence how long or how well people live. Relevant areas include: - Clinical advances that improve survival or long-term outcomes - Cardiology, oncology, transplantation, and surgical innovation - Preventive medicine and chronic disease management - Genetics of lifespan and healthspan - Biological aging biomarkers and epigenetic clocks - Senolytics and cellular senescence - Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors and rapamycin - Regenerative and stem cell therapies - Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolism and supplementation - Anti-aging peptides and growth factors - Biohacking and longevity supplements - Safety and adverse events associated with longevity interventions - Patient counseling around emerging or unproven longevity therapies Submissions are encouraged from all medical specialties, so an article does not need to come from geriatrics or a dedicated longevity medicine program to qualify. ## **What does longevity medicine research look like?** The Longevity Medicine Collection already includes research spanning clinical interventions, aging biology, nutrition, biohacking, and emerging therapies. These published articles illustrate how differently researchers can approach the same central question: How can medicine help people live longer or healthier lives? ### **Facial aging and clinical interventions** [Use of a Serum With the Infinite Glow® Device Improves Signs of Facial Aging: A Split-Face Case Report Using VISIA Analysis](https://www.cureus.com/articles/485441-use-of-a-serum-with-the-infinite-glow-device-improves-signs-of-facial-aging-a-split-face-case-report-using-visia-analysis) This case report examines a clinical approach to signs of facial aging using split-face assessment and VISIA analysis.

Do not submit the article as a “Publishing Competition” entry. Submissions should instead be submitted for consideration in the “Longevity Medicine Collection.” The submission deadline is Friday, October 16, 2026. ## **What can the winning authors receive?** Winning articles will be determined by the Cureus SIQ score. - 1st place: One year of Preferred Editing services for up to three articles, $1,200 average value - 2nd place: One year of 50% off Preferred Editing services for up to three articles, $600 average value - 3rd place: One year of 50% off Preferred Editing services for up to two articles, $400 average value Winning articles will be announced on November 10, 2026. ## **Is your research part of the longevity conversation?** Longevity medicine includes both emerging anti-aging research and the clinical advances that already help patients live longer, healthier lives. A new therapy, surgical technique, biomarker, preventive strategy, case report, or critical review may contribute to that conversation if it addresses lifespan, healthspan, or the evidence behind a longevity intervention. If your research fits that scope, submit it before **October 16, 2026**.   *Submissions must meet Cureus publishing guidelines and may be subject to Preferred Editing fees, where applicable.* *This post was drafted with AI assistance and edited by our team before publishing.* [View full post](https://blog.cureus.com/longevity-medicine-call-for-submissions) ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Cureus Team" }, "dateModified" : "2026-09-29T15:00:01.572Z", "datePublished" : "2026-09-29T15:00:01Z", "headline" : "Could Your Research Fit the Cureus Longevity Medicine Contest?", "image" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 909, "url" : "https://46589883.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/46589883/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/Left%20Shifted%20Helix%20Social%20Media%20Composition.png", "width" : 1731 }, "mainEntityOfPage" : "https://blog.cureus.com/longevity-medicine-call-for-submissions", "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 60, "url" : "/hs/hsstatic/content_shared_assets/static-1.4092/img/default-amp-logo.png", "width" : 60 }, "name" : "Cureus Journal of Medical Science Blog" } } ```
