NEPRC is committed to its role as a scientific resource for the biomedical research community. The Center's Collaborative and Affiliated Scientist Programs are vital components of this mission and provide unique opportunities for outside investigators to extend their research to nonhuman primates. These programs encompass a wide range of research aims and disciplines, involving scientists from Harvard Medical School, Harvard-affiliated hospitals, and prominent research institutions throughout the country.

The Center encourages promising collaborative initiatives in the areas of infectious disease and neuroscience and welcomes inquiries from academic and industrial research organizations worldwide.
