Foundation for Biomedical Research
I am a member of the Board of Directors of the National Biomedical Research Foundation. The following describes what the organization does and what it has achieved. In my opinion, this foundation does very important work and is the chief bulwark against the rising tide of animal rights activists who are making animal research difficult and more costly, therefore slowing down research and reducing the amount of research that can be done with the funding available.

The Foundation for Biomedical Research (FBR) was established in 1981 to improve the quality of human and animal health by promoting public understanding and support of the ethical use of animals in scientific and medical research. Many people are unaware that virtually all major medical advances of the last century can be attributed to animal research. FBR produces a wide variety of educational resources -- videos, posters, brochures, etc. -- to help the general public understand why animals are so important in the search for new and better ways to treat the diseases that afflict both people and animals.
FBR has been instrumental in improving communication between the scientific community and the American public, by encouraging individuals involved with animal research to speak out about their important work. Together, this unique coalition of researchers, voluntary health organizations, patients, and concerned citizens is refuting the lies and distortions being espoused by proponents of the multi-million dollar animal rights business.
FBR strongly supports humane care and treatment for all animals. In fact, good research depends upon responsible animal care, and there are strict laws and regulations that govern animal research.
FBR's sister organization -- The National Association for Biomedical Research (NABR) -- is dedicated to advocating sound public policy which recognizes the vital role of humane animal use in biomedical research, higher education and product safety testing.
