Our research strategy is to focus on clinical rather than laboratory-based research, and so we do not currently fund research using animals. However, as a member of AMRC we support the principle of using animals in research when it is necessary to advance understanding of health and disease and to develop new treatments. This research only takes place where there is no alternative available.

All AMRC member charities support this principle, as outlined in this statement. AMRC statement on the use of animals in research

The Pelican Cancer Foundation fully endorses the Association of Medical Research Charities’ (AMRC) position on the use of animals in research.
