ACU Program Management

Animal Well-Being and the 3Rs

B21 - [ON-DEMAND] The Iron Fist and Velvet Glove: Expanding the Implementation of the 3Rs

Monday, December 4, 2023
2:15 PM – 3:15 PM ET
On-Demand Session Call for Session Proposal IACUC/Animal Care and Use Deep Dive Series CPIA Accredited
This session will be offered on-demand only for in-person PRIMR23 attendees registered for this day, and PRIMR23/SBER23 Virtual Meeting registrants; there is no live interaction.

While researchers in principle may support the expansion of the 3Rs, they are not necessarily proactive in implementing them for their own research. This is, however, a role that the animal care and use program, especially the IACUC, may and should play. This presentation offers a discussion of how the animal care and use program and IACUC may push researchers to further replace, reduce, and refine their use of animals using both the Velvet Glove (education, support, encouragement) and the Iron Fist (regulatory action) approaches.

Learning Objectives:

  • Develop a better understanding of what is involved in the 3Rs
  • Identify practices implemented by institutions in support of the 3Rs
  • Identify best practices for their own institutions
