Experimental Design for Open and Reproducible Research: NC3Rs Experimental Design Assistant

The UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) is a national peer-led consortium that aims to ensure the UK retains its place as a centre for world-leading research. We do this by investigating the factors that contribute to robust research, promoting training activities, and disseminating best practice. We also work collaboratively with various external stakeholders to ensure coordination of efforts across the sector.

The badge earner attended the training session and met the completion criteria as below.

Training

By the end of this training, the participant will be able to:

• Use the EDA to represent in vivo experiments that facilitate open and reproducible research using the fewest number of animals.
• Understand common problems researchers come across using the EDA and how to resolve them.
• Identify the audience and objectives for EDA training sessions.
• Show other researchers how to the use the EDA to improve the reproducibility of their experiments and reduce animal use in research.
• Implement feedback from the EDA to improve experimental design.

Completion Criteria

Full attendance of the session is required for UKRN accreditation.
