Mission Statement
The Scientists Center for Animal Welfare (SCAW) is composed of research professionals
dedicated to balancing animal welfare and excellence in basic and applied scientific inquiry. SCAW recognizes that some research areas present challenges regarding animal use.
SCAW affirms that the potential benefit to humans and animals from research and the cost to the animal subject(s) must both be considered.
By addressing animal research challenges
directly through education and training, SCAW serves to facilitate open discussion and helps craft solutions as well as promote best practices. Through its outreach to the broader
research community, SCAW demonstrates its commitment to excellence in animal care and science.
SCAW also sponsors an educational
