Nonhuman Primate Research Support Capabilities and Resources
Please browse or search our inventory of NPRC capabilities. We strongly
encourage you to contact any of the NPRCs for consultation regarding
facilities and services required to support your research.
While many institutions are not sufficiently equipped to fully support
NHP research, the NPRCs provide the comprehensive research
infrastructure and expertise necessary for appropriate care and research
application of nonhuman primates.
A broad spectrum of support services are available including ABSL 3
and ABSL 4 laboratories, aerosol exposure facilities, Genetics and
Genomics support, diagnostic and research pathology, imaging, immunology
and neuroscience. Additionally, the NPRCs employ nationally and
internationally recognized experts in the field of nonhuman primate
management, production, care, psychological well-being, regulatory
compliance and research utilization.
