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)、心理充实设备(游戏围栏、门廊和隧道)和其他相关设备，用于安置非人类灵长类动物(HHP)。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。主要住房单元将安装在新建的动物住房和支持设施中，名为动物服务3号楼(ASB3)，约35,000平方米。FT)。随着研究计划的扩大和分配给研究项目的国家卫生政策项目的数量增加，ONPRC对国家住房计划住房的需求持续增长。ONPRC已经成功地获得了NIH建设赠款和机构资金，以大大扩大其动物收容所设施。ASB3是在原有ASB的基础上增加的第三个住房空间，将为笼屋和小团体住房单位中的NHP增加900个住房空间。许多将被安置在ASB3中的动物将用于支持我们的艾滋病相关研究计划。我们的SPF印度源恒河猴繁育群体已经达到了2060个NHP，而且扩大的SPF计划还在继续增长。这些动物被用于传染病和免疫学研究，许多动物将被安置在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是至关重要的。这项建议中要求的主要住房单位将使ONPRC能够完全占用新的ASB3设施，并在改善的社会环境中，在最先进的条件下容纳SPF NHP。ONPRC在改善中心内卫生保健计划的社会环境方面走在了前列。20国集团申请的授予将使ONPRC将整个NHP殖民地的大约90%置于一个更好的社会环境中。在这笔赠款中提出了以下目标： 具体目标1：购买50个移动式不锈钢机架，可容纳4个4.5平方英尺的空间。英国《金融时报》每笼(共200笼)。 具体目标二：购买丰富社会环境的设备，包括用于集体住房的移动游戏笔，以及连接到笼子上的隧道和门廊。 具体目标3：购买更多的设备，包括转运箱和捕获通道，用于在笼子或儿童围栏之间移动猴子，以及采血站。
