The Medical Research Council

 

Dear..

I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to enquire about the Medical Research Council’s current and future commitments to advancing non-animal research methods. As part of a grassroots campaign who are keen to highlight and promote the positive steps being made in human-relevant, ethical research alternatives we would greatly appreciate it if you could share details on the specific steps MRC is taking to prioritise and invest in non-animal methodologies.

In particular, we are interested in:

Any dedicated funding streams or grants that support researchers developing human-relevant models.

Specific projects or breakthroughs in non-animal research that MRC has funded or is currently funding.

Collaborations or partnerships with organisations focused on replacing animal testing with cutting edge scientific alternatives.

MRC’s stance on accelerating the transition towards non-animal research within UK academia and industry.

Any upcoming initiatives or plans to further support researchers in adopting these alternative methods.

We are eager to share and amplify the work MRC is doing in this area, ensuring it receives the recognition it deserves. If there are any case studies, publications, or resources you can provide, we would be delighted to help publicise and celebrate these efforts.

We would appreciate any information you can share and would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.

University Email

Dear [Vice Chancellor/Professor Name],

I am writing to encourage [University Name] to lead the way in adopting innovative, human-relevant research methods that eliminate the need for animal testing.

Cutting-edge approaches such as organ-on-a-chip technology, 3D cell cultures, and advanced computer modelling are producing faster, safer, and more reliable results than outdated animal tests. I urge your institution to prioritize these methods in research and teaching, ensuring your graduates are equipped with the most advanced scientific skills while promoting ethical and effective research.

Please commit to phasing out animal testing and investing in modern science that truly reflects the future of medicine and innovation.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name]
