The 3Rs Collaborative

Advancing better science – for both people and animals

Mission

Advancing better science – for both people and animals.

We facilitate collaborative 3Rs opportunities to make a positive impact using evidence-based science for people and animals in research and teaching.

We work to:

  • Refine: Improve the lives of animals used in research and teaching.
  • Reduce: Minimize animal numbers while maximizing scientific output.
  • Replace: Promote the widespread adoption of non-animal models.
 
Our work is grounded in real world, practical experiences to initiate the most progress in the shortest amount of time.
 

Vision

Uniting scientific excellence and animal welfare.

We strive to create a future where:

  • All research animals consistently receive the best care possible throughout their lifespan to maximize their welfare—regardless of size or species.
  • All animal experiments and science-related breeding programs are designed to maximize quality, including reproducibility and translation, while minimizing the numbers of animals required across the research pipeline.
  • All scientifically valid replacement technologies are consistently implemented whenever appropriate throughout the scientific and teaching pipeline so that animals are only used when absolutely necessary.
  • All individuals working in animal research and teaching feel supported to do their best work for their research animals and scientific progress.
    Ultimately, science, knowledge, and respect for all beings are advanced.
 

Values

  1. Evidence: We make decisions based on high-quality, data-driven, evidence-based science.
  2. Collaboration: We work across disciplines and incorporate information from different backgrounds. The output of the group is greater than that of one.
  3. Impact: We make an impact through the 3Rs on scientific research. We are outcome driven, constructive, and practical.
