What rodent resources are available for aging research?

NIA maintains colonies of aged rats and mice for use by the scientific community for research directly related to aging and age-related diseases. For more information, go to the rodent resources section on the scientific resources page.

Can I suggest an intervention for inclusion in this test program?

Yes—a key goal of the ITP is to test the effects of diets, drugs, nutritional supplements, or other interventions that are proposed by interested collaborators. Intervention proposals can be submitted by scientists who work in academic laboratories or in government or commercial research institutes.
