3Rs Certificate Course

The 3Rs Collaborative 3Rs Certificate Course is officially available via CITI Program on January 9!

Although most animal research professionals have learned about the 3Rs briefly, they may lack a deep understanding of the concepts and how to apply them. This is likely caused by a lack of specific, standardized, and accessible training in the 3Rs (refine, reduce, replace) which causes difficulty in implementation. Therefore, the 3RsC created a 3Rs certificate course to accelerate understanding, recognition, and implementation of the 3Rs.

This fully virtual, self-paced training is designed to elevate understanding and application of the 3Rs—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—across your organization. This course will be hosted by CITI Program, the trusted standard in research ethics, compliance, and safety training. 

The course consists of 5 one-hour modules on:

  • Introduction & History of the 3Rs
  • Replacement
  • Reduction
  • Refinement
  • Applications & Related Topics.

 

The course is North American-centric and refers to US & Canadian guidelines. The target learner is anyone working with research animals, including students, scientists, technicians, IACUC members, veterinarians, or anyone interested in the 3Rs. Each module ends with a 10-15 question quiz to test your knowledge.

The course will be priced in-line with CITI Program’s other courses. It will be available as a subscription add-on for $675 per year/per site for government and non-profit organizations or $750 per year/per site for for-profit organizations.

The 3Rs Certificate Course is officially released as of January 9, 2025. To register, please visit the CITI website link here.
