Doerenkamp-Zbinden Foundation - Awards

Doerenkamp-Zbinden Foundation - Awards for 1996/7

The Doerenkamp-Zbinden Foundation has announced its awards policy for 1996 onwards. The foundation intends making two awards annually, each of between 25-50,000 SF. One award will be for research demonstrating in-vitro methods or ethically acceptable experiments in man which can replace the use of animals in experiments. The second award will be made for techniques, instruments or drugs which have produced a clear reduction in suffering in animals used in experiments.

Applications will be judged by a board consisting both of research scientists and lay persons, and will be assessed both for scientific quality and relevance to animal welfare. Nominations for the award (6 copies) should be made to:

Prof Dr. med. Dr. h.c. K.Brune
Institute of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology
Universtatsstr. 22
D-91054 Erlangen/Germany

The closing date for nominations is the 1st October
