Use Your Voice

Your Voice Matters. A personal message from a constituent is one of the most effective forms of advocacy.

On July 27, the OHSU Board of Directors will vote on a resolution outlining the future of the Oregon National Primate Research Center. The proposal offers an important path forward by preserving ONPRC’s nonhuman primate research mission, scientific expertise, and critical infrastructure.

The Board will receive significant public comment from groups seeking to end this work. It is equally important that members hear from scientists, healthcare professionals, patients, advocates, and community members who understand its value.

The number of letters matters.

Please submit your public comment by July 23 at 12 p.m. PT and share why ONPRC matters to public health, scientific discovery, Oregon’s research leadership, or your own life and work.
