NC3Rs research competition to link academia and industry
This year the NC3Rs is launching a new initiative called CRACK-IT. A key aim of CRACK-IT is to develop new technologies (products, models and tools) for industry which reduce reliance on animal research (the 3Rs). This will be achieved by connecting and funding scientists from academia and industry.
CRACK-IT will include a research competition designed to solve business challenges with a 3Rs theme identified with the pharmaceutical, chemical, agrochemicals and consumer product industries.
This is an NC3Rs/industry partnership with the NC3Rs providing research funding and the companies sponsoring the challenges via in kind contributions including, data, equipment, samples and compounds. The research competition will be run through the TSB’s Small Business Research Initiative.
