Animal methods bias is a peer review bias characterized by a preference for animal-based research methods or lack of expertise to adequately evaluate nonanimal methods. It can affect the quality or fairness of nonanimal research assessments, including peer reviews of grant applications and manuscripts that include new approach methodologies (NAMs). While researchers can play an important role in preventing and addressing this phenomenon, funding agencies must also take action to ensure that peer review is not a barrier to the broader development and use of NAMs. 
 
This advocacy webinar is hosted by the Coalition to Illuminate and Address Animal Methods Bias (COLAAB), an international collaboration of researchers and advocates aiming to better characterize and address this important issue. Join us to learn how you can advocate for your funders to act now to level the playing field for researchers using NAMs.
