What are you hoping to achieve with your proposed work? 

Vision

Briefly explain how you have designed your approach so that it:
<ul class="govuk-list govuk-list--bullet">
<li>is effective and appropriate to achieve your scientific and 3Rs objectives</li>
<li>uses a clear, transparent and sound methodology</li>
<li>is feasible and identifies potential risks to delivery and how they will be managed&nbsp;</li>
<li>builds upon and progresses previous work</li>
<li>will deliver research to directly replace, reduce and/or refine the use of animals in research or testing.</li>
</ul>
Within the Approach section we would expect you to provide:
<ul class="govuk-list govuk-list--bullet">
<li>a brief description of your experimental plans, including supporting preliminary data</li>
<li>a 3Rs case. This should include:
<ul class="govuk-list govuk-list--bullet">
<li style="list-style-type:none">
<ul class="govuk-list govuk-list--bullet">
<li>a summary of the potential 3Rs impact that will be achieved locally (i.e. within your own laboratory) and more widely (nationally/internationally)</li>
<li>supporting metrics demonstrating the potential scale of the 3Rs impact</li>
<li>whether the outcomes could be applicable to other models or research areas.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>a high-level strategy for promoting the proposed research and 3Rs outcomes within the scientific community, including the likelihood of adoption by other groups.</li>
</ul>

<ul class="govuk-list govuk-list--bullet">
<li>the right balance of skills and expertise to deliver the proposed work</li>
<li>where applicable, a track record in implementing the 3Rs in your research and disseminating research outputs and impacts.</li>
</ul>
For project partners, please also describe:
<ul class="govuk-list govuk-list--bullet">
<li>how they will be involved in the project, and</li>
<li>what they will provide, including in-kind and monetary contributions.</li>
