There are many pitfalls to consider with the animal study being doing so far away. The most important factor to consider is that the design of the study is thought out thoroughly and there are no missing aspects. In addition, there needs to be a guarantee that there is enough animal supply in that area for the study. Another factor to consider is that there will be importance given to the research. When doing research yourself, you give more importance to making sure that it gets done. However, when the research is being done at a different, distant location, the research may be given lower priority. Maybe one of the researchers on the team who designed the animal study should be present when the study is being completed. This way someone who has knowledge of the background as to why and how the study is being done will be able to oversee that the study is being done as needed. It would probably be better to have the animal study done at a closer location, to ensure that there will not be any delay in the research.
