About

On March 28-29, 2012, this workshop, hosted by the Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders, brought together key stakeholders to discuss potential opportunities for maximizing the translation of effective therapies from animal models to clinical practice.

Meeting Objectives:

Discuss key issues that contribute to poor translation of animal models in nervous system disorders.
- Examine case studies that highlight successes and failures in the development and application of animal models.
Consider strategies to increase the scientific rigor of preclinical efficacy testing.
- Explore the benefits and challenges to developing standardized animal and behavioral models.
- Identify methods to facilitate development of corresponding animal and clinical endpoints
Identify methods that would maximize bidirectional translation between basic and clinical research
Determine the next steps that will be critical for improvement of the development and testing of animal models of disorders of the nervous system.
