Never-Ending Acronym Madness: NAMs & Animal Research
Thursday, June 18, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. ET
The acronym “NAMs” is used inconsistently across scientific and regulatory communities, contributing to confusion and misaligned expectations. This webinar examines the evolving landscape of NAMs definitions and introduces a proposed harmonized, goal-oriented definition applicable to chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and basic research.
Participants will explore how this harmonized definition can be applied to determine whether specific technologies qualify as NAMs, and how these approaches relate to—but remain distinct from—the 3Rs principles. The webinar will also introduce the concept of Refinement-Enabling Innovations (REIs) and examine categories of technologies that fall outside the proposed NAMs framework, including traditional in vivo models and certain refinement techniques.

Managing Compassion Fatigue: A Pillar of a Culture of Care
Monday, June 22, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. ET
This previously released webinar discusses how compassion fatigue, a form of secondary traumatic stress, affects animal care personnel due to exposure to distressing situations. It poses risks to staff well-being and research quality. A Culture of Care is built on four pillars: strong science, animal welfare, human well-being, and communication. Human well-being, as one pillar, focuses on empathetic support to address challenges like compassion fatigue. Strategies include self-care, mindfulness, and professional development, alongside institutional measures like debriefing sessions, leadership training, and flexible scheduling. Tools such as ProQOL assessments and resiliency frameworks, supported by the University of Washington’s D2C and the 3Rs Collaborative, may help mitigate its impact.
