BRAD Day

The 11th Annual Biomedical Research Awareness Day (BRAD) will be celebrated worldwide on April 16th, 2026, and we want YOU to be a part of it!

Biomedical Research Awareness Day (BRAD) is an international outreach program through Americans for Medical Progress that seeks to increase public awareness about animal roles in biomedical research and the resulting medical advancements that benefit both humans and animals. BRAD highlights the importance of animal studies and demonstrates research organizations’ commitment to providing excellent animal care. It also builds a research advocate community and showcases biomedical research and laboratory animal care and medicine careers.

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.
