National Society for Medical Research (U.S.)
The National Society for Medical Research was established in 1946 with the purpose of insuring the freedom of investigators and teachers to use laboratory animals, whenever such use is justified. The Board of Directors was also active in lobbying for or against legislation involving the use of animals in research. It was conceived as an instrument to permit many organizations to conduct a joint program of public education on the methods and needs of biological and medical research. The purpose of the program was to educate the public about the need for animal research, in an effort to halt the growth of anti-vivisection, anti-dissection and other related anti-science cults. In 1984 the National Society for Medical Research merged with the Foundation for Bio-Medical Research.
