Pilot Research Programs at the NPRCs

Each year, the NPRCs/ award one-year pilot research grants to support innovative studies that include nonhuman primates. The projects are selected based on their potential to generate high-impact preliminary data that will result in research project grants from NIH (e.g., NIH R01 grants) or other sources and be published in peer-reviewed journals.

The number of projects each NPRC supports is determined annually based on the availability of funds.
