Welcome to this survey of the FELASA Working Group.
This follow-up survey aims to provide clear benchmarks for laboratory animal facilities regarding the technical staff required to care of laboratory mice.
The survey has been prepared by the FELASA Working Group “Benchmarking the Ratio of Technical Staff for the Care of Laboratory Mice, according to the personnel’s role and housing and husbandry conditions.”
It is designed for mouse facility managers and personnel planners, and aims to support staffing decisions based on real data from various mouse housing and husbandry conditions.
The survey is comprehensive and can be paused and resumed at any time. You can return to previous pages or questions by using the “Previous” button at the bottom of each page. You may also choose "Resume later" (3 dots or text) to save your unfinished survey and return later.
If your facility includes multiple independent units or barriers, you are welcome to submit the survey separately for each unit you are responsible for.
Your participation is essential. Only with responses from many facilities can reliable benchmarks be established that benefit the entire LAS community.
