With a cited aim being to improve the health of all Oregonians one would think OHSU would do everything within their capabilities to conduct beneficial research to aid human health. Yet OHSU fails to communicate what actual beneficial results have come from their non-human animal based studies. With a growing controversy surrounding this issue, OHSU has been asked repeatedly to meet with members of the local Portland metropolitan area in a public forum to discuss the medical and scientific implications of using non-human animals in biomedical and scientific research. OHSU has chosen to ignore the public inquiry and continue their everyday business of wasting tax dollars on dangerous, misleading, and unproductive research.

On site, OHSU conducts biomedical experimentation using a variety of non-human animal species including primates. In addition, OHSU is the host institution for the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC). In August 1998, the registration for ONPRC was terminated and incorporated into the OHSU registration #92-R-0001. Funding for the non-human animal based experimentation comes from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a governmental institution funneling tax dollars into fraudulent research.

Contact the Oregon Health Sciences University and make an inquiry into the research being conducted there and what results applicable to human health have been found.
