AAALAC International recently released a FAQ document clarifying the IACUC's responsibility to review study design in support of reproducibility. This session will help IACUCs and investigators understand what they should be looking for in study design and statistics when assessing animal use protocols. Evolved study designs and how they can be considered a 3Rs method to reduce the number of animals needed while answering more scientific questions, will also be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss different experimental design options
Review reproducibility and translation of animal studies
Explore the pitfalls, power, and practices including the review of online tools
