NEPRC has been committed to its role as a national scientific resource for the biomedical research community. Our Collaborative and Affiliated Scientist Programs have served as vital components of this mission and have provided unique opportunities for outside investigators to extend their research to nonhuman primates. These programs have encompassed a wide range of research aims and disciplines, involving scientists from Harvard Medical School, Harvard-affiliated hospitals, and prominent research institutions throughout the country and worldwide.

The NEPRC historically has conducted vital collaborative research in the broadly defined areas of infectious disease and neuroscience. Due to the scheduled wind down of operations and closing of the NEPRC on May 31, 2015, new collaborative initiatives will be limited.
