The Alamogordo Primate Facility (APF) is supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and serves as a research reserve facility for government supported chimpanzees. It is located on the Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, NM. According to an agreement made between NIH and the U.S. Air Force, “no invasive research shall be conducted on chimpanzees currently held at the APF.”1 The few individuals used in active research must be transferred to other facilities. Since 2001, the chimpanzees at APF have been managed by Charles River Laboratories Inc. (CRL) under a NIH contract. APF is one of “five NIH-supported sites that house research chimpanzees.”2
