Though it is represented legally by the MRC, which in turn is part of the executive non-departmental public body UK Research and Innovation (“UKRI”), the NC3Rs is managed independently.  To avoid doubt, the MRC is the controller of personal data collected through the EDA Website and the EDA application, but it will only be managed by the representatives of the NC3Rs. Any references to NC3Rs shall mean the MRC or, in the event that MRC ceases to exist, to UK Research and Innovation. </p> </address> <p><strong style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height:
