New experimental design training school announced
Reduce animal numbers & collect better data
Good planning and design can have a major impact on reducing animal usage in research programmes and on the welfare of the animals used. So FRAME runs regular training courses aimed at post graduate students to teach the principles of good experimental design and statistical analysis.
FRAME's Mission Statement
FRAME's ultimate aim is the elimination of the need to use laboratory animals in any kind of medical or scientific procedure.
FRAME is dedicated to the development of new and valid methods that will replace the need for laboratory animals in medical and scientific research, education, and testing. Where the use of animals is currently necessary, FRAME supports the reduction of numbers involved to an unavoidable minimum and refinement of experimental procedures to minimise any suffering caused.
FRAME relies entirely on grants and donations to carry out its vital work because it receives no financial support from local or central government. Any gifts from supporters, either individuals or companies, are always welcome.
