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. Two key characteristics of the Yerkes National Primate Research Center include the diversity of research activities and the availability of a large number of chimpanzees. This diversity has positioned us to become world leaders in chimpanzee-related research that has a focus on behavior, social interactions, emotion, and cognition. A five-year NIA-funded Program Project awarded to the Yerkes NPRC has investigated a wide range of comparative aspects of aging in humans, chimpanzees, and rhesus monkeys. A testing facility for chimpanzees, completed prior to this PPG award, became in integral part of the PPG related research. We are currently holding a series of meetings focused on chimpanzee research as well as advisory discussions with respect to future ideas and proposals for chimpanzee research, including a further examination of the feasibility of genomics studies.

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 耶克斯国家灵长类动物研究中心的两个关键特点是研究活动的多样性和黑猩猩的大量可获得性。这种多样性使我们在与黑猩猩相关的研究中处于世界领先地位，这些研究的重点是行为、社会互动、情感和认知。NIA资助的一个为期五年的项目授予Yerkes NPRC，该项目调查了人类、黑猩猩和恒河猴衰老的广泛比较方面。在PPG获奖之前完成的黑猩猩测试设施成为PPG相关研究的组成部分。我们目前正在举行一系列以黑猩猩研究为重点的会议，并就未来黑猩猩研究的想法和建议进行咨询讨论，包括进一步审查基因组学研究的可行性。
