(1) The Oregon Regional Primate Research Center : Located at Beaverton, 
Oregon, on 160 acres of land about 10 miles from the University of Oregon 
Medical School, the host institution in Portland. Initial grant award in 
1960; formal dedication in 1962. Main research orientation: reproductive 
physiology, especially perinatal physiology. Other research areas: anthro- 
pology, cardiovascular physiology, cutaneous biology, immunology, neurophysiol- 
ogy, biomathematics, radiology, pathology. 
(2) The Regional Primate Research Center at the University of Washington : 
Located at Seattle, Washington, on the campus of the University, the host 
institution. Initial grant, 1961; dedication in 1964. Main research orien- 
tation: heurophysiology and gastrointestinal physiology. Other research 
areas: skeletal and dental development, infectious diseases, nutrition, 
cardiovascular disease. Has a computerized bibliographic service on medical 
research utilizing nonhuman primates and a literature collection on nonhuman 
primates throughout the world, 
(3) The Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center : At Madison, adjacent 
to the primate laboratory of the psychology department at the University of 
Wisconsin, host institution. Initial grant in 1961; building dedicated in 
1964. Main research orientation: infant developmental behavior and emotional 
conditioning. Other and related areas: brain function, biochemical mechan- 
isms of learning, pregnancy, radiation, leukemia, low- level toxicity, mental 
retardation, venous occlusion disease. 
(4) The Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center : At Atlanta, Georgia, on 
the campus of Emory University, the host institution. Initial grant in 1961; 
dedication in 1965, The former Yerkes Laboratory of Primate Biology at Orange 
Park, Florida, established by Professor Robert M. Yerkes in 1928, was moved 
to Atlanta and absorbed into the new primate center. Main orientation: be- 
havioral studies on anthropoids. Other research areas: anatomical and 
physiological studies of the brain, studies of blood. 
(5) The Delta Regional Primate Research Center : At Covington, Louisiana, 
on 500 acres of land, 35 miles from downtown New Orleans and the host insti- 
tution, Tulane University, Initial grant in 1962; dedication in 1964. The 
large land area was designated because of the southern climate and need for 
large all-year outdoor caging of a variety of species. Main research orien- 
tation: infectious diseases. Other research areas: genetics, developmental 
disorders, behavioral studies, environmental health and chronic, metabolic, 
and degenerative diseases.

Southborough, about 30 miles from Boston, Massachusetts. Host institution 
is Harvard University. Initial grant in 1962; dedication in 1966. Main 
orientation: infectious diseases. Other research areas include endocrin- 
ology of growth, nutrition, animal behavior, neurophysiology. 
(7) The National Center for Primate Biology : On 300 acres of land at the 
Davis campus of the University of California, the host institution. Initial 
grant in 1962; construction completed in 1966. Main orientation: studies
