The American Fund for Alternatives to Animal Research (AFAAR) is a New York-based organization dedicated to promoting and supporting the development and implementation of alternatives to animal use in scientific research, testing, and education. With a mission to advance more efficient and humane scientific methods, AFAAR provides funding for the validation and adoption of alternative approaches that are predictive of human responses, aiming to alleviate the unnecessary suffering of millions of animals in various fields of research and testing.
Driven by compassion and supported by scientific evidence, AFAAR advocates for the cessation of animal use in research, testing, and science education. Their commitment to advancing alternatives is exemplified through programs like the Fellowship Grant for Alternatives to Animal Research in Women's Health and Sex Differences, which focuses on promoting innovative approaches in these specific areas. AFAAR's work highlights the ethical and scientific imperative to move away from outdated and cruel animal experiments, emphasizing the potential of advancements in science and technology to improve human health without causing harm to animals.
