The years of scientific investigation that NEAVS/Project R&R has put into supporting our case to end the use of chimpanzees has delivered impeccable arguments as to how scientifically unnecessary and unproductive their use is and how inhumane and ethically indefensible it is. Our body of work (click here for information on all our published papers) is proving critical to the IOM’s deliberations. NEAVS/Project R&R clarifies the factual realities from the exaggerated and fictitious rhetoric that proponents of chimpanzee use still insist on relying on. NEAVS/Project R&R fights science with science.
