National Primate Research Centers
The seven National Primate Research Centers (NPRCs) are a national network of dedicated teams fighting diseases from Alzheimer’s to Zika and improving human and animal health and lives worldwide. In partnership with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and others, the NPRCs conduct and enable approximately 1,000 research studies annually that make breakthrough discoveries of causes, preventions, treatments and cures possible. NPRC-based research is highly regulated, provides unique insights not available with other models and often precedes clinical trials in humans.
