3Rs in asthma research >>

Following on from a joint workshop with the MRC, the NC3Rs and Asthma UK are seeking high-quality applications to develop new experimental models of asthma with: 1.Improved scientific and clinical relevance; 2.Reduced reliance on the use of animals and/or improved animal welfare.

The Information Portal is an area of the website containing annotated links to online databases, websites, journal articles, legislation and other publications. These resources provide information to help you apply the 3Rs and ensure the best possible standards in animal welfare. There are also links for information on funding schemes for 3Rs research.
