Have you ever felt you could use extra guidance when designing animal experiments? The National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement, and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs) has released a new tool to help you plan and conduct animal research studies. Their recent webinar featuring Dr. Esther Pearl, NC3Rs Programme Manager for Experimental Design, explores the potential of the NC3Rs Experimental Design Assistant (EDA). Improving experimental design is not just a buzzword. It is a crucial element in enhancing biomedical research’s quality and ethical standards. Key takeaways from the webinar include:
- The significance of improving experimental design and how it contributes to the success of biomedical research.
- Key strategies to bolster the quality of your research, making it more rigorous, reproducible, and translational.
- EDA’s customized feedback and suggestions on statistical methods, randomization, blinding, sample sizes, and more.
- Streamlining the protocol review process for Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees.
