Global clearinghouse for information on alternatives to animal testing

The Animal Welfare Institute is a non-profit organization founded to reduce the pain inflicted on animals including improving the housing and handling of animals used for experimentation and pushing for the development of animal research alternatives.

The Animal Welfare Information Center (AWIC) is mandated by the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) to provide information for improved animal care and use in research, testing, teaching, and exhibition.

Supports efforts to reduce the numbers of animals used through better science and better experimental design, and to refine procedures so that the suffering of any animals necessarily used is minimised.

IACUC.ORG is an information resource for members and staff of institutional animal care and use committees

ILAR's mission is to evaluate and disseminate information on issues related to the scientific, technological, and ethical use of animals and related biological resources in research, testing, and education.

The Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) has worked to find new methods to replace the use of laboratory animals in experiments, reduce the number of animals tested, and refine necessary tests to eliminate pain and distress.

The National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research provides a UK focus for the promotion, development and implementation of the 3Rs in animal research and testing.

The Centre provides information on laboratory animal science and alternatives to the use of animals in research, teaching and school dissection classes.

The UCDavis Center for Animal Alternatives places special emphasis on disseminating up-to-date information concerning animal alternatives through every level of public and private education.
