Animal Care and Use Committee Conference
 
The 2016 NWABR Regional IACUC Conference in Bellevue, WA, is being hosted in conjunction with the annual PRIM&R IACUC conference.

The series of events includes: 
March 30:    IACUC 101 & University of Washington Facility tour (spaces already filled)

March 31:    NWABR IACUC conference

April 1 and 2:     PRIM&R IACUC conference

The IACUC 101, the NWABR conference and the PRIM&R conference are all being hosted at the Bellevue Hyatt hotel.  

NWABR's IACUC conference will focus on experiences, real-world cases, and expert panels.  In response to attendee requests from prior years Paula Clifford from Americans for Medical Progress will lead a session about how we can talk about the work of IACUCs and animal research with lay audiences.  This is an important topic for all biomedical researchers as the ability to honestly communicate our work is key to keeping the public's trust.
