The National Institute on Aging (NIA) supports colonies of aged rodents for use in biogerontology research.  Use of these colonies is limited to projects that are funded by the NIH or other government agencies and that include specific aims directly related to aging research.  Information on the NIA Aged Rodent Colonies is on the web, located at
http://www.nia.nih.gov/ResearchInformation/ScientificResources/AgedRodentColoniesHandbook/. 

The NIA has developed an online rodent ordering system (ROS) for users of the NIA Aged Rodent Colonies to streamline the ordering and authorization process.  Currently, the use of the online ROS is voluntary, but starting September 1, 2008 use of the online ROS will be mandatory for ordering from the aged rodent colonies.  The online ROS is located at http://arc.niapublications.org/acb/stores/1/  .

Questions should be directed to Dr. Nancy L. Nadon (nadonn@nia.nih.gov), 301-402-7744.
