Course description
During this WIAS course you will learn how to write a CCD project proposal for your project license involving animal experiments. The CCD is the Centrale Commissie Dierproeven (so the National Committee on Animal Experimentation).
You will be informed on the different legislations and guidelines you have to take into account. You get insight information from an Ethics Committee member on how the proposal is reviewed and on the different actors that will be involved in animal experimentation (IvD/DEC/CCD).
During this course you will learn:
• Why a CCD license is required (law and ethics)
• How to write the different parts of the license: the NTS (non-technical summary), project proposal and the animal experiment appendices and avoid the most common mistakes.
This course will consist of online (recorded) lectures and assignments.
The course consists of 6 sections:
- Introduction - EU and Dutch legislation and roles of different committees
- Ethics - Law on Animal experimentation and Moral status
- How to write the Project Proposal and Appendices
- Statistics - power analysis and more
- How to write the Non-Technical Summary (NTS)
- When and how to write an amendment.
