AWIC WorkshopsMeeting the Information Requirements of the Animal Welfare Act:
A Systematic Approach
• Provide a historical overview of the Animal Welfare Act and its information requirements.
• Define the 3Rs of alternatives.• Become familiar with databases and other
resources helpful in searching for alternatives.• Design and run a search for alternatives.
