Details
The policy builds on the position statement on research and innovation involving animals, which can be found alongside additional guidance on the good research resource hub: involving animals in research.
The policy covers research and innovation supported by UKRI, including involvement of animals not covered by the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act, 1986, aligning expectations across UKRI for:
- applicants
- assessors
- animal involvement overseas
- transparency and communication
- research integrity
All seven councils plus Research England and Innovate UK, and all cross-council funding opportunities have adopted the policy.
