    A new, interactive framework supports the evaluation of in vivo and ex vivo research proposals from a sex inclusive research perspective delivering a traffic light classification, indicating whether a proposal is appropriate, risky, or insufficient with regards to sex inclusion. This tool is designed for use by researchers, (animal) ethical review boards, and funders to generate a rigorous and reproducible assessment of sex inclusion at the proposal level, thus helping address the embedded sex bias in preclinical research
