ASP is an AAALAC International Member Organization

The American Society of Primatologists (ASP) continues to support the mission and work of AAALAC International by serving as an AAALAC “Member Organization.” In doing so, ASP joins more than 75+ other prestigious scientific, professional and educational organizations from around the world that have an interest in advancing animal well-being in science.

AAALAC International is the world’s largest accrediting body for animal research and education programs. Currently more than 1,175 companies, universities, hospitals, government agencies and other research institutions in 52 countries/regions have earned AAALAC accreditation, demonstrating their commitment to responsible animal care and use. These institutions volunteer to participate in AAALAC’s program, in addition to complying with all applicable local and national laws that regulate animal research. Those that meet or exceed applicable standards are awarded accreditation—a mark of quality assurance recognized around the world.

ASP’s continued participation as an AAALAC International Member Organization demonstrates our commitment to responsible animal care and use. It’s an opportunity to join with other respected organizations to communicate that excellence in animal welfare is critical to quality science and education.
