The NIH Inclusion Across the Lifespan policy requires individuals of all ages (including children and older adults) be included in clinical research studies unless there are scientific or ethical reasons to exclude them. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the Inclusion Across the Lifespan Workshop (IAL-II) including the topics of inclusion and exclusion criteria; study designs and metrics; recruitment, enrollment, and retention; and data analysis and study interpretation.
