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）： ONPRC要求资金购买主要住房单元（笼子和架子），心理丰富设备（弹奏笔，门廊和隧道）以及用于住房非人类灵长类动物（NHP）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。主要的住房单元将安装在新建的动物住房和称为动物服务大楼（ASB3，约35,000平方英尺）的新建动物住房和支持设施中。随着研究计划的扩大以及分配给研究项目的NHP的数量，ONPRC的NHP住房需求继续增长。 ONPRC已经成功地获得了NIH建设赠款和机构资金，以极大地扩大其动物住房设施。 ASB3是原始ASB的第三个增加，将在笼子和小组住房单元中增加900个NHP的住房空间。将使用ASB3中的许多动物用于支持我们与艾滋病相关的研究计划。我们的SPF Indian-Orgin恒河猴繁殖殖民地已达到2,060个NHP，而扩大的SPF计划继续增长。这些动物用于传染病和免疫学研究中，许多动物将在ASB3中容纳。为了继续扩大与艾滋病相关的研究计划，至关重要的是有足够的笼子空间。本提案中要求的主要住房单元将使ONPRC能够在增强的社交环境中完全占据新的ASB3设施和House SPF NHP。 ONPRC一直处于最前沿，以增加中心的NHP的社会环境。该G20申请的授予将使ONPRC在增强的社交环境中约有90％的NHP殖民地。这笔赠款提出了以下目的： 特定目标1：购买50个移动不锈钢架，旨在容纳四个4.5平方英尺的笼子每个（总笼子）。 特定目标2：购买以丰富社交环境的设备，包括用于集体住房的移动弹奏笔以及附在笼子上的隧道和门廊。 特定的目标3：购买其他设备，包括转移盒和捕获隧道，用于在笼子或弹手之间移动猴子和血液收集站。
