The '3Rs Hall of Honor' recognizes outstanding scientists who are committed to the reduction, refinement and replacement of animal testing – known as the '3Rs'. The 3Rs Hall of Honor was established in 2024 by the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT).

Its origins can be traced back to the British scientists William Russell and Rex Burch, who set out the '3Rs' in their 1959 book The Principles of Humane Experimental Technique. They proposed a new applied science that aimed to improve the treatment of laboratory animals while also enhancing the quality of scientific and medical research and testing.
