Ongoing support for the Washington National Primate Research Center, a long-running NIH-funded facility conducting biomedical research using non-human primates.

Primate research centers are critical infrastructure for vaccine development, neuroscience, and infectious disease studies; this 1997-origin program remains foundational to U.S. biomedical capacity.

Sustains specialized breeding, veterinary, and laboratory supply chains supporting primate research; supports domestic alternative-model development and regulatory compliance infrastructure.

Primate research capability is a strategic differentiator in vaccine and neurological drug development; maintaining U.S. centers counters reliance on foreign research infrastructure.
