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）： 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).我们的目标是为参与 NIH 资助的艾滋病相关研究的 NHP 提供住房。 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. ONPRC 已成功获得 NIH 建设拨款和机构资金，以大幅扩大其动物饲养设施。 ASB3 是原 ASB 的第三个补充，将为 NHP 额外增加 900 个笼舍和小组住房单元的住房空间。 ASB3 中饲养的许多动物将用于支持我们的艾滋病相关研究计划。我们的 SPF 印度原产恒河猴繁殖群体已达到 2,060 头 NHP，并且扩大的 SPF 计划仍在继续发展。这些动物用于传染病和免疫学研究，其中许多将被安置在 ASB3 中。为了继续扩大我们与艾滋病相关的研究项目，提供足够的笼子空间至关重要。 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. ONPRC 在改善中心内 NHP 的社会环境方面一直走在前列。这项 G20 申请的授予将使 ONPRC 能够拥有整个 NHP 殖民地约 90% 的人处于增强的社会环境中。这笔赠款提出了以下目标： 具体目标 1：购买 50 个移动不锈钢架，每个架可容纳 4 个 4.5 平方英尺的笼子（总共 200 个笼子）。 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.
