WEB PORTAL FOR NONHUMAN PRIMATE RESEARCH MODELS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 描述(由申请人提供)：建议的项目将建立一个全面的门户网站，进入与非人类灵长类动物(NHR)在生物医学和翻译研究中的使用有关的信息。通过这个“Primate门户”链接的信息类型将包括公共资助的资源，这些资源提供进入国家卫生计划本身的途径，以及在研究背景下专门描述动物特征的方法和设施。PrimatePortal还将提供描述人类健康和疾病的特定NHP模型、NHP材料的组织和DNA库以及先前研究的书目数据的链接。国家灵长类研究中心联盟各工作组目前的活动将纳入Primate门户网站。拟议的工作建立在威斯康星州国家灵长类研究中心与其他NPRC和NCRR支持的NHP资源合作推动的信息技术和提供信息服务以及数据共享和最佳实践采用的倡议的基础上，以及通过与临床和翻译科学研究所的联系开展的新计划。 公共卫生相关性(由申请者提供)：拟议的项目将通过增加关于非人类灵长类动物(NHP)研究用途的信息的可用性，促进基础生物医学和翻译研究的进程。通过使用PrimatePortal，研究人员将能够获得有关受益于NHP模型的研究的适当性、可用性和性能的关键信息。

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. DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project will establish a comprehensive web portal into Information pertaining to the use on nonhuman primates (NHR) in biomedical and translational research. The types of information to be linked through this "PrimatePortal" will include publicly funded resources providing access to the NHP themselves, as well as methods and facilities for specialized characterization of the animals in a research context. PrimatePortal will also provide links describing particular NHP models for human health and disease, tissue and DNA banks for NHP material and bibliographic data on previous research. In the first year of the project the emphasis will be on organizing and linking information pertaining to HIV/AIDS research, such as availability of specific pathogen-free NHP, resources for virological and immunologic testing, specialized reagents and other testing services, and funding opportunities for this research. In the second and third years the scope of PrimatePortal will be expanded to other areas of research, such as other infectious diseases, reproduction and development (including stem cells and regenerative medicine), aging, metabolic diseases, and neurosciences and behavioral research. The current activities of the Working Groups in the consortium of National Primate Research Centers (NPRCs) will be incorporated into PrimatePortal. The proposed work builds on initiatives in information technology and provision of information services, as well as data sharing and adoption of best practices, promoted by the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center in collaboration with other NPRCs and NCRR-supported NHP resources, as well as new programs through linkage with Clinical and Translational Science Institutes. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): The proposed project will facilitate the process of basic biomedical and translational research by enhancing the availability of information regarding the investigational use of nonhuman primates (NHP). Through the use of PrimatePortal, researchers will be able to acquire critical information regarding the appropriateness, availability and performance of studies benefiting from the use of NHP models.
