Biostatistics Task Force
About the task force
The 3RCC Biostatistics Task Force aims to address some of the key problem areas in experimental design, statistical analysis and reporting of experimental animal research results.
Services and Tasks:
- Reviewing grant applications, animal license requests and, in rarer circumstances, publications.
- Providing generalised guidelines for typical issues in animal research
- For example, see our guidelines on calculating power / sample size in animal research
- Think-tank for larger projects which can then be implemented by the Swiss 3RCC
- For example, monitoring the overall state of reporting practices in Swiss animal research
A relaunch of the task force, to better formalise and standardise its goals is set for mid-2022.
