EGAD50000003179	The Tsimane Health and Life History Project is a joint health and anthropology project aimed at understanding the impacts of ecology and evolution on the shaping of the human life course. We focus on health, growth and development, aging, economics and biodemography of small-scale populations of hunter-gatherers and horticulturalists. We also combine biomedical and anthropological research with medical attention among Tsimane, an indigenous forager-farming group living in central lowland Bolivia in the Beni Department. Research with the Tsimane of Amazonian Bolivia began in 2001 under the joint directorship of Michael Gurven (Anthropology, University of California Santa Barbara) and Hillard Kaplan (Anthropology, University of New Mexico; Chapman University). To request access, complete the Secondary Use of Published Data Agreement form available at https://tsimane.anth.ucsb.edu/data.html. The request must detail: (1) the exact uses of the data and research questions to be addressed; (2) procedures employed for data security and individual privacy; (3) potential benefits to the study communities; and (4) procedures for assessing and minimizing stigmatizing interpretations of research results. Completed forms should be submitted to Dr. Michael Gurven (gurven@anth.ucsb.edu), Dr. Hillard Kaplan (hkaplan@chapman.edu), Dr. Benjamin Trumble (btrumble@asu.edu), and Dr. Jonathan Stieglitz (jonathan.stieglitz@iast.fr). Approved uses are limited to non-commercial academic research and must not include redistribution of the data, upload to open-access databases, or uses that could stigmatize or harm Indigenous communities. By committing to data access, investigators agree to: use data for research purposes only; maintain data security with password protection; never attempt to link data to specific individuals; submit findings to THLHP co-Directors prior to any publication or preprint submission; and include appropriate acknowledgment of THLHP funding (R01AG024119, RF1AG054442, R01AG054442; BCS0422690).
