Completed
Research on human physiology and on prevention, treatments, and cures for disease relies on model systems with sufficient complexity, and nonhuman primates are used in biomedical research to meet these needs. In response to a request from Congress, a National Academies committee will conduct a landscape analysis to describe the state of the science on nonhuman primate model systems, including assessing their current roles in biomedical research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and exploring future needs. The committee will also examine opportunities for new approach methodologies to complement or reduce reliance on NIH-supported research with nonhuman primates.
