The Experimental Design Assistant

This is a recording of an hour long webinar on the Experimental Design Assistant, hosted by COS, with guest presenter Nathalie Percie du Sert from NC3R

The EDA (https://eda.nc3rs.org.uk) is a free web-based tool which was developed by the NC3Rs (https://www.nc3rs.org.uk). It guides researchers through the design and analysis of in vivo experiments. The EDA allows users to build a stepwise visual representation of their experiment, providing feedback and dedicated support for randomization, blinding and sample size calculation. This demonstration will provide an introduction to the tool and provide guidance on getting started. Ultimately, the use of a tool such as the EDA will lead to carefully designed experiments that yield robust and reproducible data using the minimum number of animals consistent with scientific objectives.
