The Federal Council has mandated the SNSF to launch a call for the National Research Programme "Advancing 3R – Animals, Research and Society" (NRP 79).
The call targets research in three focal areas:
- Innovation: research contributing to the effective application of the 3Rs in the real world.
- Implementation: research conforming on barriers to the implementation of the 3Rs, proposing strategies for overcoming these barriers and facilitating the application of existing knowledge.
- Ethics and society: research into ethical, conceptual and societal issues connected with the 3Rs and the use of animals for scientific purposes.
Proposals with an inter- or multidisciplinary character embracing the goals of more than one focal area will be given preference.

- Project funding: for individual applicants or team of applicants who are independent. Possibility to involve research groups abroad.
