Understanding Animal Research
Understanding Animal Research (UAR) is a British advocacy group formed in late 2008 through the merger of the Research Defence Society and the Coalition for Medical Progress. Its main aims are to "broaden understanding and acceptance of the humane use of animals in biomedical research in the UK, to advance science and medicine".〔(Understanding Animal Research: About Us )〕
==History==
The Research Defence Society (RDS) was founded in 1908 "to make known the facts as to experiments on animals in this country; the immense importance to the welfare of mankind of such experiments and the great saving of human life and health directly attributable to them." Within a year, the society had over 2000 members with branches across the country organising lectures and debates. Over the next century the RDS campaigned against animal rights extremism including lobbying for a strengthened version of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Bill in 1994 and setting up a Legal Defence Fund in 1989 to pay the legal costs of scientists who were seeking libel actions.
The Coalition for Medical Progress was launched in 2003 as part of a wider alliance to communicate the benefits of animal research to the wider public. In 1999, 65% of people agreed with the statement "I have a lack of trust in the regulatory system about animal research". By 2007, this has fallen to 35%.〔
When the organisations merged Dr Simon Festing, executive director of the Research Defence Society, became its first chief executive.〔(UAR: History and Structure )〕 In November 2012 Wendy Jarrett, who formerly worked at NICE, took over as Chief Executive at UAR.〔(Wendy Jarrett to be new UAR CEO )〕
