Fortrea primate-testing lab, Vienna, Virginia, 2004–05. Most of the NHPs used are one of three species of macaques, accounting for 79% of all primates used in research in the UK, and 63% of all federally funded research grants for projects using primates in the U.S. [25] Lesser numbers of marmosets, tamarins, spider monkeys, owl monkeys, vervet monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and baboons are used ...
The annual use of vertebrate animals—from zebrafish to non-human primates—was estimated at 192 million as of 2015. [39] In the European Union, vertebrate species represent 93% of animals used in research, [39] and 11.5 million animals were used there in 2011. [40]

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) conducted an eight-month investigation into the animal care program at the university and concluded it was an appropriate program, and that no corrective action was necessary.
