On September 2, 2020, NIH will virtually host the Inclusion Across the Lifespan-II Workshop: Implementation and Future Directions. The workshop will feature lessons learned and discussion about the inclusion of pediatric and older populations in clinical studies and provide evidence-based practical advice to the scientific community.

The event will bring together individuals with a variety of backgrounds in clinical study development and execution, with a focus on pediatric and older-adult populations. Critically, there will be an emphasis on special populations (e.g., racial/ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, rural/isolated populations, language-minority individuals, pregnant and lactating women, people with comorbidities, and sexual and gender minorities) across the life course. Scheduled to speak are National Institute on Aging ( NIA ) Deputy Director Marie A. Bernard, M.D.; NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D.; ORWH Director Janine A. Clayton, M.D.; and many others.

The workshop will be held via Webex. For more details and registration information, visit the NIH Inclusion Across the Lifespan-II Workshop webpage .
