The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), one of the 27 Institutes/Centers of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), supports research to create and develop critical resources, models, and technologies. Within NCRR, the Division of Comparative Medicine (DCM) helps to meet the needs of biomedical researchers for high-quality, disease-free animals and specialized animal research facilities. Through grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts, the DCM supports national primate research centers and their field stations, resource-related projects, development of mammalian and nonmammalian animal model resources, postdoctoral training, and a variety of research projects. Within DCM, the Chimpanzee Management Program (ChiMP) supports long-term, cost-effective care and housing for chimpanzees.
