DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ONPRC requests funds to purchase primary housing units (cages and racks), psychological enrichment devices (play pens, porches and tunnels) and other related equipment used in housing non-human primates (NHPs). Our objectives are to provide housing for NHPs involved in NIH-sponsored AIDS-related research. The primary housing units will be installed in a newly constructed animal housing and support facility called Animal Services Building 3 (ASB3, approximately 35,000 sq. ft). With the expansion of research programs and the number of NHPs assigned to research projects, the need for NHP housing at the ONPRC has continued to grow. The ONPRC has been successful in obtaining NIH construction grants and institutional funds to greatly expand its animal housing facilities. ASB3 is the third addition to the original ASB and will add an additional 900 housing spaces for NHPs in cages and small group housing units. Many of the animals to be housed in ASB3 will be used in support of our AIDS-related research program. Our SPF Indian-orgin rhesus breeding colony has reached 2,060 NHPs and the expanded SPF program continues to grow. These animals are used in the infectious disease and immunology studies, and many will be housed in ASB3. In order to continue to expand our AIDS-related research programs, it is essential that sufficient cage space be available. The primary housing units requested in this proposal will allow the ONPRC to fully occupy the new ASB3 facility and house SPF NHPs under state-of-the-art conditions in an enhanced social environment. The ONPRC has been at the forefront in increasing the social environment of NHPs housed at the Center. The awarding of this G20 application will allow the ONPRC to have approximately 90% of the entire NHP colony in an enhanced social environment. The following aims are proposed in this grant: Specific Aim 1: Purchase 50 mobile stainless steel racks designed to hold four 4.5 sq. ft. cages each (200 total cages). Specific Aim 2: Purchase equipment to enrich the social environment, including mobile play pens for group housing, and tunnels and porches that attach to the cages. Specific Aim 3: Purchase additional equipment, including transfer boxes and capture tunnels for moving monkeys between cages or playpens, and blood collection stations.

描述（由申请人提供）： 国家灵长类动物保护办公室要求提供资金，用于购买基本住房单元（笼子和架子）、心理充实设施（游戏围栏、门廊和隧道）以及用于非人类灵长类动物住房的其他相关设备。我们的目标是为参与NIH赞助的艾滋病相关研究的NHP提供住房。主要畜舍单元将安装在新建的动物畜舍和支持设施中，称为动物服务大楼3（ASB 3，约35，000平方米）。ft）。随着研究方案的扩大和分配到研究项目的国家卫生方案人员的数量，国家卫生方案办公室对国家卫生方案住房的需求继续增长。ONPRC成功地获得了NIH的建设赠款和机构资金，大大扩大了其动物饲养设施。第三条是原有的第三条，会为非居于香港的人士增加900个笼屋及小组宿舍单位的宿位。许多动物将被安置在ASB 3将用于支持我们的艾滋病相关的研究计划。我们的SPF印度恒河猴繁殖群已达到2，060 NHP，扩大的SPF计划继续增长。这些动物用于传染病和免疫学研究，许多动物将饲养在ASB 3中。为了继续扩大我们与艾滋病有关的研究计划，必须提供足够的笼子空间。本提案中要求的主要住房单元将使ONPRC能够完全占用新的ASB 3设施，并在最先进的条件下在改善的社会环境中为SPF NHP提供住房。国家残疾人康复中心一直站在改善该中心的国家残疾人社会环境的前列。这一G20申请的授予将使ONPRC在一个更好的社会环境中拥有整个NHP殖民地的约90%。该补助金提出了以下目标： 具体目标1：购买50个移动的不锈钢机架，设计用于容纳四个4.5平方米。英尺每笼（共200笼）。 具体目标二：购买设备，丰富社会环境，包括移动的发挥围栏组住房，隧道和门廊连接到笼子。 具体目标3：购买额外的设备，包括转移箱和捕获隧道，用于在笼子或围栏之间移动猴子，以及采血站。
