The battles are local AND national. All NHP researchers in the USA are at risk now. Who will be next?
Academic freedom is being dismantled. What will you do?
Email ohsuboard@ohsu.edu TODAY and tell them you support and value NHP research.

First they came for DEI and I said nothing for I hoped my success rates would improve.
Then they came for gender identity research and I said nothing for I hoped my success rates would improve.
Then they came for the NPRCs, and I said nothing for I hoped my success rates would improve.
In case you had any doubts what this βoh we just want to encourage non-animal researchβ excuse for putting an AR nutter in high office at NIH was aboutβ¦.

NIH and some outside interest groups are trying to force the closing of the Oregon National Primate Research Center, and it looks like they might win. This would be a huge blow for translational research. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Characterization of normative fetal rhesus macaque brain development with magnetic resonance imaging

This may be the most important paper ever published about NIH funded research.

Cool! Looking over the documentation⦠what would be a suggestion for how to use this with Vt PET data (where arterial input and metabolite correction are needed due to no valid reference region)? For example TSPO PET.

BREAKING: Trump wants to illegally cut off $15 billion in lifesaving NIH research.
Research to cure cancer, Alzheimer's, and so much more is on the line.
These people are LYING about waste, fraud, and abuse at NIH to justify attacking medical researchβwe all need to say so.
