This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Behavioral Testing Facility was created three years ago to facilitate the development of neuroscience research at the Universidad Central del Caribe. Currently, the importance of behavioral testing is being recognized by investigators with other research interests. Based on these needs, the main goal in this proposal is to provide experimental support to the projects developed by a diverse group of scientists. The facility has two mayor components: A) the equipment infrastructure and B) the technical support division. This proposal plans to develop this facility by incorporating two consultants and expanding the experimental setup offerings with new equipment for remote behavior visualization (RBV).The specific aims proposed during the present period are: A: To improve the existing equipment and the environment necessary for new and ongoing experiments..B: To continue training the technicians and users in methods, equipment, experimental protocols and software commonly used in behavioral experiments.C. To encourage collaborative research at UCC, and with other local Universities. D: To facilitate the development of on-line experiments using internet-2 capabilities.As proposed the scheme will impact not only researchers at UCC but also those at other local universities who have shown interest in the use of this facility. The development of the BTF will facilitate and reinforce the research and collaborations of UCC investigator

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。行为测试设施是三年前创建的，以促进加勒比中央大学神经科学研究的发展。目前，行为测试的重要性正在被其他研究兴趣的研究人员所认识。基于这些需求，本提案的主要目标是为不同科学家群体开发的项目提供实验支持。该设施有两个主要组成部分：A）设备基础设施和B）技术支持部门。该提案计划通过纳入两名顾问并扩大实验设置产品与远程行为可视化（RBV）的新设备来开发该设施。在此期间提出的具体目标是：A：改善现有设备和新的和正在进行的实验所需的环境。B：继续对技术人员和使用者进行行为学实验中常用的方法、设备、实验方案和软件的培训。鼓励在UCC的合作研究，并与其他当地大学。丁：促进利用Internet-2能力进行联机实验。根据建议，该计划不仅会影响UCC的研究人员，还会影响其他对使用该设施感兴趣的本地大学的研究人员。BTF的发展将促进和加强UCC研究人员的研究和合作
