The proposed construction provides new innovative sheltered housing for non-human primates (NHPs) and will replace the 30 year old outdoor open corrals that presently house our primate production colony. There are a number of reasons that have led us to construct alternative housing to replace the open corrals. First, programmatic growth necessitates the expansion of the production colony. The research program at the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center (ORPRC) has nearly doubled (in terms of research dollars and number of NHPs assigned to research projects) since 1994. This rate of growth is expected to continue for several reasons. 1) Special funding to enhance the program to produce clonally- derived NHPs, 2) The expansion in infectious disease research, and 3) The relocation of the R.S. Dow Neurological Sciences Institute to the ORPRC campus. By converting the open free ranging corrals into 20 shelter housing units (each holding from 25-30 NPHs), the number of production animals can be increased from 100-150 to 500-600 in the same amount of space. Second, USDA regulations and standards discourage raising animals in an open outdoor corral setting. The sheltered facilities will assure that animals are housed and bred in an environment that meets high animal care standards. The enclosed sheltered housing units will: 1) permit efficient and thoroughly daily sanitation of the animals' environment, 20 allow safe access to the animals, 3) permit options of social interactions, and 4) will comply with all NIH guidelines, AAALAC recommendations, and other applicable federal and local regulations. Third, the City of Hillsboro's (the local government in which ORPRC resides) MasterPlan mandates that existing corrals be decommissioned and no additional "open" animal housing be developed. Our five year plan coverts one of our 2-acre corrals into the area that contains the 20 sheltered housing facilities. The proposal requests funds to begin the first phase of construction; funds are requested to construct 8 sheltered housing units that will hold 25-30 NHPs each.

拟议的建设为非人类灵长类动物（NHP）提供了新的创新庇护住房，并将取代目前容纳我们的灵长类动物生产殖民地的30年室外开放式围栏。有很多原因导致我们建造替代性住房来取代开放式corpus。第一，纲领性增长需要扩大生产殖民地。自1994年以来，俄勒冈州地区灵长类动物研究中心（ORPRC）的研究项目几乎翻了一番（就研究资金和分配给研究项目的NHP数量而言）。预计这一增长率将继续下去，原因有几个。1)特别资助，以加强计划，以生产克隆衍生的NHP，2）在传染病研究的扩展，和3）搬迁的R. S。陶氏神经科学研究所到ORPRC校园。通过将开放式散养畜舍改造成20个庇护所住房单元（每个容纳25-30 NPH），在相同的空间内，生产动物的数量可以从100-150增加到500-600。 其次，美国农业部的法规和标准不鼓励在开放的户外畜栏环境中饲养动物。庇护设施将确保动物在符合高动物护理标准的环境中饲养和繁殖。封闭的保护性圈养单元将：1）允许对动物环境进行有效和彻底的日常卫生，20允许安全接近动物，3）允许选择社会互动，以及4）符合所有NIH指南、AAALAC建议和其他适用的联邦和地方法规。第三，希尔斯伯勒市（ORPRC所在的地方政府）的总体规划要求现有的畜舍退役，不开发额外的“开放式”动物舍。我们的五年计划将我们2英亩的土地中的一个覆盖到包含20个庇护住房设施的地区。该提案要求为开始第一阶段的建设提供资金;要求为建造8个庇护住房单元提供资金，每个单元将容纳25-30名国家卫生中心。
