Emory University, a top 20 research university located in Atlanta, Georgia, is an inquiry-driven, ethically engaged and diverse community whose members work collaboratively for positive transformation in the world through courageous leadership in teaching, research, scholarship, health care and social action. The university offers academic degrees and programs ( undergraduate, graduate and professional) through nine schools, with particular strengths in the arts and sciences, business, law, theology and the health professions. The university is recognized internationally for its outstanding liberal arts college, superb professional schools and one of the Southeast''s leading health care systems. Emory maintains an uncommon balance for an institution of its standing: it generates more research funding than any other Georgia university, while maintaining its traditional emphasis on teaching. The university is enriched by the legacy and energy of Atlanta, and by collaboration among its schools, units and centers, as well as with affiliated institutions.

NPRC Consortium is collaboration across seven Centers to increase access and promote sharing of NonHuman Primate related resources among biomedical researchers. NPRCs advance missions of NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices by providing animals, facilities, expertise, and resources required by investigators in disease specific areas. Each Center provides expertise on the use of various NHP species as models of human disease to address specific research projects in major research fields such as infectious diseases, aging, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and metabolic disorders, neuroscience, pediatrics, regenerative medicine, reproductive health, and women’s health. ORIP supports Specific Pathogen Free rhesus macaque colonies at the California,Oregon, Southwest, Yerkes, and Tulane NPRCs and the Caribbean Primate Research Center in Puerto Rico. Additionally, SPF pigtail macaque colonies are maintained at the Washington NPRC and at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

The Yerkes National Primate Research Center of Emory University is an international leader in biomedical and behavioral research. For more than seven decades, the Yerkes Research Center has been dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of primate biology, behavior, veterinary care and conservation, and to improving human health and well-being. The Yerkes Non-Human Primate Resource at Coriell includes viable and contaminant-free Pan troglodytes cell cultures and high quality DNA samples derived from these cultures, both subjected to rigorous quality control.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on October 16, 2013. NCRR has been absorbed into other parts of the National Institutes of Health. This organizational structure is no longer available. Provides laboratory scientists and clinical researchers with the resources and tools they need to understand, detect, treat and prevent a wide range of diseases. Animal models, such as nonhuman primates, are a critical component of biomedical research, having profound implications for public health. Scientists depend on laboratory animals and other nonhuman models for investigating biological processes, studying the causes of diseases and testing promising new therapies. Nonhuman primates, in particular, are important for translational research because of their close physiological similarities to humans. They enable discoveries that have direct application to human studies, bridging the gap between basic science and human medicine. Discoveries in animal models are helping scientists test treatments for human conditions such as drug addiction, obesity, malaria, HIV/AIDS and neurodegenerative diseases, accelerating the pace at which these research advances can be translated into treatments for patients. Through its Division of Comparative Medicine, NCRR offers a wide variety of primate resources for NIH-funded scientists across the nation. Additionally, funding opportunities are available to National Primate Research Centers. Eight National Primate Research Centers (NPRCs) located throughout the country provide animals, facilities and expertise in all aspects of nonhuman primate biology and husbandry. These facilities and resources enable collaborative research among NPRC staff scientists, investigators from the NPRC host institution and other NIH-funded researchers. Major areas of research benefiting from the primate centers include AIDS, avian flu, Alzheimer''s disease, Parkinson''s disease, diabetes, asthma and endo-metriosis. The centers????????????????? specialized resources are intended to support investigators who receive their primary research project funding from NIH, but they also may be used by investigators who are funded by other federal, state and local agencies, as well as by research foundations and the private sector. Together the primate centers have more than 28,000 nonhuman primates of 20 different species. This portal covers the following topics: * National Primate Research Centers * Monkey Research Resources * Chimpanzee Research Resources * Chimpanzee Management Program * Specific-Pathogen-Free Macaque Resources * Nonhuman Primate Research Reagents
