Science-led and evidence-based, the NC3Rs is the UK’s national organisation for the 3Rs, established in 2004 to accelerate the development and uptake of new models and tools that replace, reduce or refine the use of animal in research and testing. We have shown that science and technology focused on minimising animal use or improving animal welfare, can deliver benefits to human health, protection of the environment and business opportunities.
The NC3Rs is primarily funded by Government and has an annual budget of approximately £10 million. Its activities are divided between its role as the UK’s major 3Rs research funder and programmes led by its own team of scientists. Further information can be found at www.nc3rs.org.uk.
A major goal described in the NC3Rs Vision 2015 – 2025 is to maximise support for the 3Rs within research institutions. To deliver this the NC3Rs, working with institute consortia, is co-funding Regional Programme Managers who provide dedicated 3Rs advice at the project, laboratory and institute levels. The MRC are seeking to appoint a Regional Programme Manager to support our partnership with the Universities of Birmingham, Leicester and Nottingham.
