Description: The New England Primate Research Center (NEPRC) was major research facility of Harvard Medical School, and part of the National Primate Research Center Program of NIH. Since its inception, NEPRC was a leader in primate biomedical research and provided scientific resources and services to investigators throughout the US and abroad. Its mission was to pursue an integrated mission of research, service and training focusing on basic and applied biomedical research in nonhuman primates to provide solutions for human health problems, the biology of nonhuman primates to promote their health, well-being and appropriate scientific use, service as a regional resource to the biomedical community to expand research opportunities in nonhuman primates, and training of young scientists for professional careers in biomedical research and primate biology. The NEPRC was established by Congress in 1962 and formally dedicated in 1966, and was one of eight Regional Primate Research Centers in the US. It was supported by a base grant from the National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Their many scientific programs were funded by research grants from categorical institutes of NIH and other federal and private agencies. The Center was organized into four Research Divisions focusing on AIDS, cancer, neuropsychiatric disorders, drug addiction, and neurodegenerative disease. In 2013, Harvard Medical School announced its decision to close the facility over the next two years, and the Center officially closed in 2015.
