Project R&R: Release and Restitution for Chimpanzees in U.S. Laboratories is a national campaign of the New England Anti-Vivisection Society (NEAVS). 

Project R&R's mission is to end the use of chimpanzees in biomedical research and testing and to help provide them release and restitution in permanent sanctuary. While we focus on the U.S., our goal is for a worldwide end to harmful, intrusive, and lethal research on all great apes. 

Chimpanzees are humankind's closest genetic relative. They show remarkable intelligence, social and family life, and complex emotions. Yet an estimated 1,000 chimpanzees are confined in U.S. labs today. Many of these individuals have been confined for decades.
