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. With the characterization of the chimpanzee genome, there has been an increased interest in this species as a research model. This, along with continued Yerkes support of research for which the species is uniquely suitable, has lead to the need for more careful monitoring and management of animal assignments, a process that is now underway. Given that most of our animals are housed socially, considerable effort continues to be invested in contraception to prevent pregnancies. IUDs are the primary method of choice, with females unsuitable for IUD insertion receiving hormonal interventions for contraception. Continued improvements to chimpanzee living arrangements have included resurfacing living environs and providing additional interconnecting doors to facilitate not only social housing but husbandry and management. Positive reinforcement training continues to be a high priority, including providing support to and working with Yerkes Neuroscience personnel. The Center also has established a dedicated cognitive testing facility. The overall project goal is to maintain and study a opulation of chimpanzees and to ensure availability of this species to appropriate NIH funded investigators.

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。随着黑猩猩基因组的特征化，人们对该物种作为研究模型的兴趣越来越大。这一点，沿着继续耶基斯支持的研究，该物种是独特的适合，导致需要更仔细的监测和管理的动物分配，一个过程，现在正在进行中。鉴于我们的大多数动物都是群居动物，我们继续在避孕方面投入大量精力，以防止怀孕。宫内节育器是首选方法，不适合放置宫内节育器的女性接受激素干预避孕。对黑猩猩生活安排的持续改善包括重新铺设生活环境，并提供额外的相互连接的门，不仅方便社会住房，而且方便饲养和管理。积极的强化培训仍然是一个高度优先事项，包括提供支持，并与耶基斯神经科学人员合作。 该中心还建立了专门的认知测试设施。项目的总体目标是保持和研究黑猩猩的种群，并确保该物种可供适当的NIH资助的研究人员使用。
