Our science

Our science programmes are divided into the following key areas:

  • Research we fund through grants and early career awards.
     
  • CRACK IT our open innovation platform to commercialise 3Rs technologies.
     
  • Office-led activities headed by NC3Rs staff which focus on facilitating data sharing and knowledge exchange, developing evidence-based changes in policy, practice and regulations, and promoting the uptake of 3Rs approaches.

Researchers funded by the NC3Rs are encouraged to publish the 3Rs approaches of their work on our dedicated NC3Rs gateway, hosted by F1000Research.
