We’re collaborating to improve understanding, recognition, and implementation of the 3Rs.
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.
The course is virtual, interactive, and self-paced consisting of 5 one-hour modules on:
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 question quiz to test your knowledge.
We are excited to announce that we have partnered with CITI Program to host our course! It will be priced in-line with CITI’s other courses at $675 per year/per site for government and non-profit organizations, $750 per year/per site for for-profit organizations, and $99 per independent learner.
It will be formally released on January 9, 2025.
