DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests $1.5 million in matching funds for the third and final renovation phase of the Volker Hall (VH) animal facility at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). VH is the largest research and education building at UAB. The 35,438 nasf assigned to the Animal Resources Program in the basement of VH is the largest of the current UAB animal facilities. Despite the ongoing renovation, it provides housing/support services for about 25% of the animal population at UAB, representing 14 species including rodents, dogs, farm animals, and nonhuman primates. This application proposes to renovate 9,800 gsf of space to increase small animal housing space; create space that better meets current and future research needs; provide housing and procedure space and appropriate equipment to prevent animal and personnel exposure to potential pathogens; provide an area for animal species or studies that require nonstandard environmental conditions; provide additional cage sanitation equipment; and provide support space for animal facility staff. UAB is committed to the prevention and treatment of diseases as prioritized in the "Healthy People 2010" directive. The investigators at UAB who will directly benefit from this proposal have more than $28 million annual federal funding that supports diverse research interests with translational applicability to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, trauma, vaccine development and delivery, and vision. The proposed renovations will thus provide state-of-the-art animal facilities to support federally funded research in areas emerging as high priorities for new therapeutic strategies and health maintenance.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该提案要求在阿拉巴马大学伯明翰大学（UAB）的Volker Hall（VH）动物设施的第三次也是最后一次翻新阶段提供150万美元的资金。 VH是UAB最大的研究和教育大楼。 VH地下室分配给动物资源计划的35,438 NASF是当前最大的UAB动物设施。尽管进行了持续的翻新，但它为UAB的动物种群的大约25％提供了住房/支持服务，代表14种物种，包括啮齿动物，狗，农场动物和非人类灵长类动物。该应用建议对9,800 GSF的空间进行翻新，以增加小型动物住房空间。创建可以更好地满足当前和未来研究需求的空间；提供住房和程序空间以及适当的设备，以防止动物和人员接触潜在病原体；提供一个需要非标准环境条件的动物物种或研究的区域；提供其他笼子卫生设备；并为动物设施工作人员提供支持空间。 UAB致力于预防和治疗“健康人2010”指令中的优先级。 UAB的调查人员将直接从该提案中受益，拥有超过2800万美元的联邦资金，该资金支持对心血管疾病，癌症，糖尿病，肥胖，创伤，疫苗发育和送达以及视力的转化适用性的多样化研究兴趣。因此，拟议的翻新将提供最先进的动物设施，以支持在新出现的新治疗策略和健康维护的领域中获得的联邦资助研究。
