  • Reporting the age of any and all organisms and human subjects.

  • For human subjects please see Implementation of the NIH Inclusion Across the Lifespan Policy; for animal subjects please see Training video module for the Vertebrate Animals

  • Example: Their age varied from 19 to 47 years (mean 26.3 , ssd 6.4) and length of relationship from 4 months to 23 years (mean 3.7, ssd 4.4).

• Weight

  • Applicable guidelines: MDAR, ARRIVE

  • Reporting the weight of any and all organisms and human subjects.
