BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL PROCUREMENT PROGRAM

该子项目是利用资源的众多研究子项目之一 由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 并且子项目的主要研究者可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其他 NIH 来源。 子项目可能列出的总成本 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， NCRR 赠款不直接向子项目或子项目工作人员提供资金。 去年，我们收集了大约 2,950 个非人类灵长类动物标本，并通过 Yerkes 生物材料分发计划提供给 93 名研究人员。提供给这些研究人员的样本包括各种组织；例如，来自五种非人类灵长类动物的骨髓、血液、眼睛、大脑、活组织检查、肝脏、肾脏、精液和尿液。 这些样本被提供给 26 名耶基斯/埃默里大学研究人员以及 67 名除埃默里大学以外的美国机构的研究人员。 向非耶基斯研究人员提供各种生物标本是对主办机构以及其他区域、国家和国际机构生物医学研究的重要贡献。 每年向外部研究人员提供的样本都会发表大量出版物。 事实证明，这些标本在解剖学、人类学、免疫缺陷等本科或研究生课程中使用时，对于教育目的非常有价值。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. During the past year, approximately 2,950 nonhuman primate specimens were collected and provided to 93 investigators through Yerkes Biomaterials Distribution Program. Specimens provided to these investigators included a variety of tissues; for example, bone marrow, blood, eyes, brain, biopsies, liver, kidney, semen, and urine from five nonhuman primate species. These specimens were provided to 26 Yerkes/Emory investigators, and 67 investigators at U.S. institutions other than Emory. The provision of various biological specimens to non-Yerkes investigators is an important contribution to biomedical research at the host institution as well as other regional, national, and international institutions. Specimens provided to outside investigators result in a number of publications each year. These specimens have proven to be extremely valuable for educational purposes when used in undergraduate or graduate courses in anatomy, anthropology, immunodeficiency, etc.
