Published literature and scientific events provide opportunities to expand knowledge and develop skills in the care and use of non-human primates (NHPs) in research. Increasingly, these traditional routes of information exchange are being complemented by dedicated online resources aimed at sharing best practice in NHP care and use, and enhancing the training and professional development of laboratory staff working with NHPs. This article outlines some key online resources from the UK's National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs) and other organisations with an interest in NHP research, and the ways in which the resources can be integrated into staff training and research practices to enhance animal welfare, quality of science and application of the 3Rs.
已发表的文献和科学活动为拓展知识以及培养在研究中照料和使用非人灵长类动物(NHPs)的技能提供了机会。越来越多的是,这些传统的信息交流途径正得到专门在线资源的补充,这些资源旨在分享非人灵长类动物照料和使用方面的最佳实践,并加强与非人灵长类动物打交道的实验室工作人员的培训和专业发展。本文概述了来自英国国家动物研究替代、优化与减少中心(NC3Rs)以及其他对非人灵长类动物研究感兴趣的组织的一些关键在线资源,以及如何将这些资源整合到工作人员培训和研究实践中,以提高动物福利、科学质量和3R原则的应用。
