INFORMATION

Primate Info Net / Primate Portal
Primate Info Net (PIN) is maintained by the Lawrence Jacobsen Library at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center (WNPRC), University of Wisconsin-Madison. Primate Info Net is designed to cover the broad field of primatology, providing original content and links to resources about nonhuman primates in research, education and conservation. The WNPRC, with the support and collaboration of NCRR, has launched Primate Portal, a new website that provides information for biomedical researchers working with nonhuman primates. As a tool for new researchers, Primate Portal provides an inventory of services, animals and equipment available from NCRR-funded centers to provide a springboard for the development of research and sharing of research results.
