This proposal for facilities improvement will enable UMAB to undertake much needed renovations, maintenance, and replacement of malfunctioning equipment needed to maintain high quality animal care in support of research funded by PHS and from other agencies. The University of Maryland at Baltimore (UMAB), is a separate campus under the University of Maryland System. The annual research funding involving animal research is in excess of $25 million. Over 132 Principal Investigators use over 26,000 animals per annum and maintain an average daily census of approximately 5,000 research animals. Veterinary Resources at UMAB operates a centralized animal resources program which provides animal ordering, husbandry, management and health care for animal research in facilities are fully accredited by AAALAC. The aims of this proposal are to meet our long term goals of ensuring humane use and care of animals. To accomplish this objective, renovations and repairs are needed to correct deficiencies cited by the USDA and AAALAC; additional animal rooms are needed to accommodate the increasing census being generated by additional investigators and expanding NIH grant support for research that requires animals. The space needs can only be met by renovations to use space more efficiently, and identify space for expansion. Along with the increased numbers of animals is a requirement for additional cages, and of considerable importance, replacement of an obsolete cage washer which is operating inefficiently and is prohibitively expensive in annual maintenance costs with NIH grant support we can rectify current inadequacies and begin to meet the needs of an increasing animal census.

这项改善设施的建议将使UMAB能够承担 需要翻新、维护和更换故障 维持高质量动物护理所需的设备 由小灵通和其他机构资助的研究。马里兰大学 在巴尔的摩(UMAB)，是马里兰大学下属的一个独立校园 系统。涉及动物研究的年度研究经费超额 2500万美元。超过132名首席调查人员使用了超过26,000只动物 每年，并保持平均每天约5,000次人口普查 研究动物。UMAB的兽医资源运营着一个集中的 动物资源计划，提供动物订购，畜牧业， 设施内动物研究的管理和保健充分 由AAALAC认证。这项建议的目的是为了满足我们的长期需要 确保人道使用和照顾动物的目标。要做到这一点 需要客观、翻新和修复来纠正所引用的不足之处 由美国农业部和AAALAC；需要额外的动物房间来容纳 越来越多的人口普查是由更多的调查人员和 扩大美国国立卫生研究院对需要动物的研究的拨款支持。空间 只有通过翻新才能满足需求，以更有效地利用空间，以及 确定扩展的空间。随着动物数量的增加 是对额外笼子的要求，而且相当重要， 更换运行效率低且陈旧的笼式垫圈 在NIH拨款的情况下，每年的维护费用高得令人望而却步 支持我们能够纠正目前的不足，并开始满足 越来越多的动物普查。
