DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Florida requests $4M to assist in the construction of a $22.7M, 62,975-gsf animal acility annex to the J. Hillis Miller Health Center Communicore Animal Facility (CAF), the largest animal facility on campus. The CAF is currently used by over 117 Investigators. Of these, 72 investigators with $19.5M active NIH funding will use the Annex to house their research animals (mice and rats). Recognizing that the CAF was in major need of renovations to correct HVAC deficiencies, outdated design, and other deficiencies a decision was made with input from faculty and administration to add an Annex onto the existing facility. The addition of the Annex is part of the University's Strategic Plan for improving animal facilities over the next 10 years. After completion of the Annex, there would be sufficient space to house all rodents in the Annex, permitting us to renovate the existing CAF. Thus, all 81 investigators with active NIH funding ($21,964,799) will benefit from the proposed project. There will be support space in the CAF, such as loading dock, fee/bedding storage, quarantine, diagnostic laboratory, etc. to support the housing and care of the animal in the Annex. Over the past 2 years, the University has spent over $6M dollars in improvements to its existing animal care and use program. We propose a 1:1 match on support for this project until $8M has been spent, at that point the University will provide sufficient funds to complete the Annex project.

描述（由申请人提供）： 佛罗里达大学要求400万美元，以协助建设一个2270万美元，62,975-gsf的动物活动附件的J.希利斯米勒健康中心通信动物设施（CAF），校园内最大的动物设施。CAF目前被超过117名调查员使用。其中，拥有1950万美元NIH资金的72名研究人员将使用附件来饲养他们的研究动物（小鼠和大鼠）。认识到CAF是在主要需要翻新，以纠正暖通空调的缺陷，过时的设计，和其他缺陷的决定与教师和行政部门的投入，以增加一个附件到现有的设施。增设附属设施是大学未来十年改善动物设施策略计划的一部分。当配楼落成后，配楼内将有足够空间容纳所有老鼠，让我们可以翻新现有的动物保护区。 因此，所有81名研究人员与美国国立卫生研究院积极的资金（21，964，799美元）将受益于拟议的项目。CAF内将有支持空间，如装货码头、费用/垫料储存、检疫、诊断实验室等，以支持附件中动物的饲养和护理。在过去的两年里，该大学已经花费了超过600万美元，用于改善其现有的动物护理和使用计划。我们建议对该项目的支持进行1：1的匹配，直到800万美元已经花费，届时大学将提供足够的资金来完成附件项目。
