Lesley Gilmour, the University of Glasgow's NTCO, shares her experience of implementing refined mouse handling across the institution.

The awards, totalling £1.44 million, will embed the 3Rs in the training of early career researchers across a range of disciplines.

Two teams have been awarded funding to deliver Phase 2 of the 2018 CRACK IT Challenges competition. 

Could your organisation sponsor the next CRACK IT Challenge to improve R&D and reduce reliance on animal models?
