The Foundation for Liver Research UK was established in 1974 to develop and extend research into diseases of the human liver and to enhance medical research generally.

CLDF supports a wide range of projects, including clinical and laboratory-based research, lately moving into social research which looks at topics such as how to improve quality of life. 

These reccomendations are provided by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft  and are available in English. They may apply for a Three R information retrieval and the way, the retrieved information is processed and discussed in the project applications (to safeguard transparency, etc.).  

LAS Interactive brings together the free information portal vtk online and the training portal las campus. The website adresses researchers, students, competent authorities, trainers as well as technical staff at Universities, independent research facilities and the industry.

The Macaque Website is a free resource for everyone who works with, or is interested in, laboratory macaques: animal care staff and technicians, facility managers, veterinarians, researchers, students, policy makers and IACUC/AWERB members. Developed by the UK’s National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs), this site provides referenced information and practical guidance on the natural history and behaviour of macaques, their care and management in captivity, and ways to assess their welfare.

Modern human-relevant technology has the potential to provide answers traditionally sought through animal research. Yet in many of these areas there is little momentum to transition away from animal use. Education is a key driver that helps increase the impetus for change.

Replacing Animal Research believes that a whole system approach to replacing animals in research is the best way to facilitate change and ensure the development and uptake of human-relevant research methods. This system is driven by the work and choices made by various stakeholders including funders, journal editors, regulators, industry, academics, legislators, and of course scientists. Relevant training and awareness of the current research landscape are important in these roles to help inform valid scientific and ethical choices, and help prioritise non-animal research.. Through education it is possible to share information about the system, develop confidence in the use of alternative methods, and challenge the use of animals in different areas of research and testing.

Procedures with Care Website by Newcastle University, NC3Rs and IAT, provides a series of resources to support the adoption of best practice for commonly used procedures in animal research. The focus is on rats and mice but further material will be added to expand the range of techniques and species in the future.
