[IN-PERSON] Half Day Workshop: Building Community Support for Your Animal Research Program

This Workshop is being offered in-person only; advanced registration is required.

Sustained campaigns of disinformation have resulted in widespread public misunderstanding of how nonhuman animal research is conducted, and the dynamic process involved in regulatory oversight of such research. In addition, faculty and staff at institutions and organizations where such research is conducted may often lack appreciation for the contributions and true nature of research with nonhuman animals. Consequently, it is essential to establish and implement preemptive communication strategies on biomedical and behavioral research with nonhuman animals, which is key to building community-wide support for institutional animal research programs. Through engaging exercises and case studies, attendees will acquire the skills needed to meet their institutions' responsibilities to support animal research programs and the researchers involved.
