On Aug. 4, 2016, the Southwest National Primate Research Center at Texas Biomedical Research Institute was awarded more than $40 million for a National Institutes of Health (NIH) P51 grant through 2021 to continue research programs using nonhuman primates as part of the National Primate Research Center consortia.

This five-year grant from the NIH’s Office of Research Infrastructure Programs was the fourth renewal of the Center grant that provides funds to SNPRC to continue operation of its facility with nearly 3,000 nonhuman primates and continue its research in aging, regenerative medicine, experimental physiology and genomics and infectious diseases.
