The Reach Out! Toolbox, a product funded by the AALAS Foundation, is not literally a "box" but rather a collection of "tools" needed for planning or conducting public outreach
sessions within the local community. The Toolbox:
Offers motivation and encouragement for
AALAS members truly interested in learning "how" to reach out to the
public about biomedical research using animals.
Provides AALAS members with tools and
resources they need to conduct successful public outreach sessions within
their communities.
Supplies an Animal Research Fair Planning
Guide for planning, organizing, and conducting an Animal Research Fair at
the facility or branch level.
Use the Reach Out! Toolbox to plan and
conduct an Animal Research Fair during your International Laboratory Animal
Technician Week.
About these files
For your convenience, the components of the Reach Out Toolbox are offered
both individually and compiled into both a ZIP file and a PDF file. If you
simply want to view or print the Toolbox, download the PDF. If you want
to customize the text of the files, the ZIP file is your best bet. If you want
to pick and choose which documents go into your Toolbox, download only
the files you want from the Toolbox Components section below.
Please note that the PowerPoint presentations are
not included in the ZIP file; the Complete Toolbox PDF contains only the
presentation handouts, not the presentations themselves. To preview the
PowerPoint files, click the HTML link next to each presentation. To download the
PowerPoint, click the icon. The handouts for each section are in the PDF
file next to the presentation links.
