Continuing Support of the Duke University Centr for the Study of Primate Biology and History

该奖项为杜克大学灵长类动物中心（DUPC）提供了持续的支持。DUPC拥有世界上最大和最多样化的原猿灵长类动物。DUPC作为一个研究资源，为不同研究领域的科学家提供动物、组织和血液样本，包括动物行为学、解剖学、形态学、生理学、生态学、发育生物学、分类学、进化、生物多样性和保护生物学。在过去的几年里，对原猿的研究在范围、强度和复杂性上都有所增加。DUPC为研究界提供了一个重要的功能，维持了一个不同的原猿灵长类动物群体，并提供了研究材料和设施。杜克大学为DUPC提供了大量资源，美国国家科学基金会为DUPC提供了必要的资金，使其成为国内和国际研究人员的社区资源。

This award provides continued support for the Duke University Primate Center (DUPC). DUPC houses the largest and most diverse collection of prosimian primates in he world. The DUPC operates as a research resource providing animals, tissues and blood samples to scientists in diverse areas of research including animal behavior, anatomy, morphology, physiology, ecology, developmental biology, taxonomy, evolution, biodiversity, and conservation biology. In the last few years, research on prosimians has increased in scope, intensity and sophistication. The DUPC serves an important function for the research community by maintaining a colony of diverse prosimian primates and providing the research material as well as facilities. Duke University has committed considerable resources for the DUPC, and NSF provides funds necessary for the DUPC to function as a community resource for national and international researchers.
