Through these unprecedented times, the NC3Rs continues to operate to support researchers and animal care staff with their 3Rs initiatives. We are working to keep our website updated so it remains a comprehensive source of 3Rs information.
If you have any queries, please email enquiries@nc3rs.org.uk to be put in touch with the right NC3Rs staff member or team. You can also visit our dedicated COVID-19 page for updates.
How we can help
Researchers: whether you are an NC3Rs grant holder, potential applicant or otherwise, our expert team can review information provided by email or have a virtual meeting with you.
Animal care staff: we’re here to support you with practical 3Rs advice, best accessed through our dedicated hub for animal technicians. You can also get in touch with our team, including your university’s Regional Programme Manager where applicable.
NC3Rs grant holders: We are doing our best to continue with business-critical activities and support our grant holders to do the same, including applying no-cost extensions on a case-by-case basis. Our grant holders are encouraged to email 3rsgrants@nc3rs.org.uk with any queries.
Anyone working in a laboratory setting: we have practical information on a wide range of topics to help you continue to do good science by keeping the 3Rs a priority. Topics include blood sampling, experimental design, housing and husbandry of common laboratory species and more.
