Government Propaganda – Misleading the American People Concerning Primate Experimentation

V. Financial Statistics
Since the current call for increased funding for the
Primate Center System requests another $100,000,000 in federal grants,
it makes sense to ascertain the current funding amounts for the primate
centers, and the affiliated grants. This should provide us with a
snapshot of the funding level received by the facilities that house the
primate centers.

These totals are based on information available in the
fiscal 2000 progress reports filed by each primate center, and
information found on the NIH website.
It must be noted that the Primate Center System is
very old. In fact, the grants finding the some of the centers are over
40 years old. We must begin to wonder if these facilities have been
worth the very substantial investment that they have already received.
