This course is part of the M&HS Faculty Training Programme and N-trans training programme, which are convened by Researcher Academy.
Aims and Objectives:
Course description:
The 3Rs are an ethical framework for scientific experiments using animals in research. In recent years the 3Rs have been adopted by the UK government, research councils within the UK and Europe, and many other funding organisations to impact the use of animals in scientific research. With increasing focus on the 3Rs in funding applications and the publication of research data it is fundamental that researchers understand the implications of the 3Rs and how to identify new ways to impact them
The course will cover the following topics:

Booking Conditions
Latecomer policy
Researchers should plan to arrive prior to the advertised course start time. Except for exceptional reasons, there will be no admittance to a Researcher Academy or Faculty Training Programme (FTP) course 15 minutes after the advertised course start time.
Importance of booking commitment
When booking on to a Researcher Academy short course you are entering into a commitment to attend. If you find that you are no longer available to attend you MUST cancel your place (on the system if more than three days before the course) or if at short notice by emailing ra-training@nottingham.ac.uk. This will ensure that your place can be offered to another researcher on the waiting list. Failure to cancel a place results in other researchers missing out on places through the waiting list process.
It is unacceptable for researchers to just not attend when booked onto a course. The Researcher Academy maintains records of those who repeatedly do not attend courses they have booked. This may affect future eligibility to book onto further Researcher Academy courses and will affect considerations for Researcher Academy funded opportunities.
