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. Maintaining a healthy, productive research colony is crucial to the ability to support diverse programs such as vaccine development for AIDS. Behavioral management programs for captive nonhuman primates include the application of environmental enrichment techniques, socialization strategies, and animal training procedures to promote the welfare of the animals. Various aspects of behavioral management programs will benefit from scientific evaluation, and this project includes some such evaluations. Two studies of animal training have been completed. One showed that positive reinforcement training had no effects on behavior that generalized to periods outside of when training sessions occurred. The second study showed training techniques can be applied to reduce undesirable behavior in chimpanzees.

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 维持一个健康、富有成效的研究群体对于支持艾滋病疫苗开发等多样化项目的能力至关重要。圈养非人灵长类动物的行为管理计划包括应用环境富集技术，社会化策略和动物训练程序，以促进动物的福利。行为管理计划的各个方面都将受益于科学评估，本项目包括一些这样的评估。已经完成了两项动物训练研究。其中一项研究表明，积极强化训练对行为没有影响，这些行为一般适用于训练课程之外的时期。第二项研究表明，训练技术可以用来减少黑猩猩的不良行为。
