In 1995, an international group of scientists met in Sheringham, Norfolk, UK, for a workshop entitled The Three Rs: The Way Forward. There, with the participation of William Russell and Rex Burch, the group discussed each of the Three Rs in detail, and made specific recommendations on how to promote them within the scientific community. The Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR) was established as part of the US National Academy of Sciences, to develop and disseminate information and guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals. Over the years, the focus of ILAR has been to improve the health, welfare, and psychological well-being of the research animal, using the Three Rs as a foundation. ILAR's programmes include an international component, through which it reaches out to other countries via translations of its report; the ILAR Journal, a quarterly publication that focuses on animal models, animal welfare and protocol review; communications and outreach through the ILAR website and presence at scientific meetings; and special reports in which expert committees make recommendations to improve science and animal welfare. Through the efforts of ILAR and similar organisations, it is now recognised that high standards of humane care lead to better science. However, continued effort is needed to promote the Three Rs in developing countries.

1995 年，一群国际科学家在英国诺福克郡的舍林汉姆举行了一次题为“三个 R：前进之路”的研讨会。在那里，在威廉·拉塞尔和雷克斯·伯奇的参与下，该小组详细讨论了三个 R 中的每一个，并就如何在科学界推广它们提出了具体建议。实验动物研究所以及实验动物研究协会（ILAR）是美国国家科学院的一部分，旨在开发和传播有关实验室动物护理和使用的信息和指南。多年来，ILAR 的重点一直是改善研究动物的健康、福利和心理健康，将三个 R 作为基础。ILAR 的计划包括一个国际组成部分，通过翻译其报告向其他国家伸出援手；ILAR 杂志，这是一份季刊，专注于动物模型、动物福利和方案审查；通过 ILAR 网站和科学会议的参与进行交流和外联；以及专家委员会提出建议以改善科学和动物福利的特别报告。通过 ILAR 及类似组织的努力，现在人们认识到人道关怀的高标准会带来更好的科学。然而，仍需要继续努力在发展中国家推广三个 R。
