Elevating Standards in Animal Care and Use: Our Mission

At Dana Briggs Consulting, our mission is clear: to inspire excellence in animal care and use for scientific purposes. We achieve this through independent external reviews, consulting, workshops, online courses, and coaching. Our approach has two main components:

1. Defining and Showcasing Excellence

One of our primary goals is to show what true excellence in animal care and use programs looks like. Many program professionals in this field have never experienced a program that embodies excellence in its entirety. Excellence goes far beyond animal welfare—it encompasses governance, administration, leadership, communication, training, competency, resourcing, reporting, culture, risk management, networking, cross-skills, and a wealth of experience. These - among others - are the essential ingredients for excellence.

2. Empowering Through Education and Skill Development

Alongside showcasing excellence, we are deeply committed to upskilling professionals so they can implement these standards within their own programs. Our comprehensive suite of online courses, workshops, and coaching sessions are designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to elevate their animal care and use programs.

We provide training that covers every aspect of a successful program, from committee management to advanced governance and leadership strategies. Our aim is to empower professionals with the tools they need to create and maintain programs that not only meet but exceed industry standards. By upskilling professionals, we also make them more competitive in the job market, enabling them to attain the positions they aspire to and have the impact they seek within the field.
