Americans for Medical Progress Educational Foundation

The Michael D. Hayre Fellowship in Public Outreach, established by Americans for Medical Progress in 2008, promotes peer education about animal research among students and young adults aged 18-30.  Named in memory of AMP's former Chairman, Michael D. Hayre, DVM, DACLAM, the Fellowship provides support for peer outreach and education projects in the United States. The AMP/Hayre Fellowship program seeks to find and support college students and young adults in the United States who have a passion to educate others about the necessary and humane use of laboratory animals in the pursuit of treatments and cures.

AMP News Service provides the biomedical research community with timely and relevant news, analysis, competitive intelligence and public affairs counsel regarding animal rights issues that have the potential to hinder the discovery and development of medicines, vaccines and treatments.  The free email  AMP News Service Digest  (readership: 35,000) is our response to the critical need within the biomedical research community for fast and reliable information about the tactics, campaigns, personalities, and trends of the activist opposition to biomedical research. Often, AMP News Service provides protective intelligence for scientists - early warning of specific animal rights threats against research.  AMP also offers specifically tailored news and private consultative services for numerous research stakeholders, including medical centers, patient advocacy groups, research institutions and universities.

The Love, Care, Progress video series provides an inside look at research involving animals. These moving stories serve as conversation starters for honest dialogue about the irreplaceable benefits of animal studies and the high standards of care these amazing creatures receive.

Come See Our World (CSOW) provides a window into the world of life changing research involving animals. The public is invited to see the animals that are integral to medical progress. Advancements in human and animal health would not be possible without these important animals, as well as their caregivers, researchers, non-animal models, and human volunteers. The website shares true stories and images of real animals in research settings. The site will continually grow as more pictures and articles are added. People are encouraged to let us know what specific animal or area of study they are curious about so we can move it to the top of our list as we add new content.

Biomedical Research Awareness Day (BRAD) is an initiative committed to educating students and the public on the importance of biomedical research and the humane use of animals. BRAD is held every year on the 3rd Thursday in April. Veterinary schools, medical schools, research institutions, and others around the world will be participating and celebrating at their respective institutions. www.bradglobal.org
