The Central Authority for Scientific Procedures on Animals (CCD) assesses applications for a project licence on various criteria. First of all, project applications must fall within the scope of a project. This guide addresses the assessment criteria used by CCD to determine whether an application meets its definition of a ‘project’.
It is intended to support researchers, Animal Welfare Bodies (AWBs) and Animal Ethics Committees (DECs) in understanding the guidelines for defining an application for a project licence.
