Introduction of a fourth “R prize” for the category of “Responsibility”

To acknowledge the support of staff who are not directly involved in in vivo work, but promote transparency in the field of animal research, for instance, one member company introduced a fourth “R prize” in 2022 for the category of “Responsibility”. In 2022, this prize went to an employee from the communications department who helped to increase the company’s transparency in the field of animal experiments. In 2023, the prize will be awarded to an employee who has provided technical support for the company’s Biomedical Research Awareness Day (BRAD).
