<p>The Government is committed to supporting the growth of technologies that support
non-animal research. UK Research & Innovation funds the development of techniques
that replace, reduce and refine the use of animals in research (the 3Rs) through the
National Centre for 3Rs (NC3Rs). Since it was established the NC3Rs has invested £89.3
million in research and £27 million in contracts through its CRACK IT Challenges scheme.
UK law requires that animals are only used in science where there are no alternatives,
where the number of animals used, and potential harm is the minimum needed to achieve
scientific benefit.</p>
