Funding for Research
FRAME funds education and research that leads to the development and progression of non-animal research methods.
The last FRAME was ran in collaboration with the University of Nottingham, Norecopa and the University of Bergen, Norway on 27 – 29 March 2023.
Th2 2024 Training Scholl will be the the seventeenth collaborative Training School in Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis of Biomedical and Bioscience Experiments, aimed at researchers at postgraduate level or above.
Registration represents excellent value for money as it includes access to expert tutors, course materials, accommodation, lunches, breaks and evening meals, during the course.
‘Please note that as a registered participant you are expected to attend for the full duration of the course to be eligible to gain LASA CPD points and take the examination to gain FELASA accreditation.
2023 Programme
The Training School will:
The Training Schools are highly interactive and include lectures, group discussions, and individual exercises. The programme is structured to lead participants from simple experimental design and statistical ideas, through more complex methods and analysis to effective presentation of findings. Participants are also able to discuss their own research problems/experiences with the expert tutors.
Because responsible research requires better design
Good experimental design is one of the most effective ways to reduce and refine animal procedures. FRAME’s annual FELASA (Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations) accredited Training School provides training in experimental design and statistics and is held in collaboration with the University of Nottingham.
FRAME promotes the importance of reduction to researchers worldwide, particularly to new scientists. FRAME Training Schools are relevant for all scientists at postgraduate level and above, even if it’s just to get a reminder of best practice techniques. Often basic principles of experimental design are not always fully understood. Attending a FRAME Training School will provide you with the knowledge to ensure you are designing experiments to get the maximum information with minimal animal use.
FRAME Training Schools have been running for more than 13 years and have a long-standing reputation, attracting international as well as local participants.
