DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Specific Aim 1 is to design and construct additional chimpanzee facilities that will provide housing for 40 to 60 additional animals and complement the facility construction currently in the design development phase (for 100 animals) in the recently-awarded Chimpanzee Biomedical Research Grant (CBRG) from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR). The housing, management and health care of infected chimpanzees require specialized knowledge and experience to provide for their physical, psychological and social needs. The facilities are designed to allow for chimpanzee biomedical research and provide high quality, long-term housing of chimpanzees chronically infected with transmissible agents that pose a risk to humans. This will provide a scarce resource for national health research priorities over the next twenty years and the chimpanzee populations in an enriched environment that allows social group housing of animals with similar experimental histories. In Specific Aim 2, the DVS will provide an innovative program that has a national reputation for high quality chimpanzee research, care and welfare. The biomedical research infrastructure and experience is already in place to support sophisticated on-site or off-site research support for investigators using the chimpanzee model. These facilities will allow the investigators to continue to maintain National Institutes of Health (NIH) chimpanzees in compliance with all current United States Department of Agriculture, Public Health Service, and accreditation regulatory standards and, in fact, will more closely meet the public's expectations for maintaining chimpanzees in an enriched environment. In Specific Aim 3, these proposed facilities will assist in meeting the expressed critical program needs for long-term chimpanzee biomedical research facilities as expressed by both the NIH and NCRR Director of Comparative Medicine and the Program Director for the NCRR Chimpanzee Management Plan (ChiMP).

描述（由申请人提供）：具体目标 1 是设计和建造额外的黑猩猩设施，为另外 40 至 60 只动物提供住房，并补充国家研究资源中心 (NCRR) 最近授予的黑猩猩生物医学研究补助金 (CBRG) 中目前处于设计开发阶段的设施建设（可容纳 100 只动物）。受感染黑猩猩的住房、管理和医疗保健需要专门的知识和经验来满足他们的身体、心理和社会需求。这些设施旨在进行黑猩猩生物医学研究，并为长期感染对人类构成风险的传染性疾病的黑猩猩提供高质量的长期住房。这将为未来二十年的国家卫生研究重点提供稀缺资源，并为黑猩猩种群提供丰富的环境，允许社会群体饲养具有相似实验历史的动物。 在具体目标 2 中，DVS 将提供一项创新计划，该计划在高质量黑猩猩研究、护理和福利方面享有全国声誉。生物医学研究基础设施和经验已经到位，可以为使用黑猩猩模型的研究人员提供复杂的现场或场外研究支持。这些设施将使研究人员能够继续按照所有现行的美国农业部、公共卫生服务和认证监管标准来维持美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 的黑猩猩，事实上，将更接近地满足公众对在丰富的环境中维持黑猩猩的期望。 在具体目标 3 中，这些拟议的设施将有助于满足 NIH 和 NCRR 比较医学主任以及 NCRR 黑猩猩管理计划 (ChiMP) 项目主任所表达的对长期黑猩猩生物医学研究设施的关键计划需求。
