NIH Shuts Down Caucaseco Scientific Research Center and the Malaria Vaccine and Development Center

In a rare move, the National Institutes of Health officially shuts off the spigot of money flowing to the Colombian organizations at the center of an 18-month PETA investigation. The agency rescinds the eligibility of the Caucaseco Scientific Research Center and the Malaria Vaccine and Development Center to receive U.S. taxpayer money—making it unlikely that these laboratories will ever torment animals in pointless experiments again.
