DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The purpose of this application is to request funds, supplemented by Tulane University that will be used to improve and modernize electrical infrastructure for animal and research buildings at the Tulane National Primate Research Center (TNPRC). The animal and research buildings at the TNPRC support approximately 35 core and 360 affiliate NIH funded investigators. Since Hurricane Katrina, the Tulane University and the TNPRC have invested in the upgrade of emergency power capacity over the entire campus by adding generator capacity, fuel storage tanks and electrical upgrades to individual animal and research buildings. These upgrades have increased assurance that animal research facilities and facilities supporting these areas will maintain full functionality in the event of a catastrophic power outage. The focus of the proposed project in this application is the improvement of the electrical distribution system on the North Campus of the TNPRC, which will result in redundant electrical power feeds to the North Campus resulting in increased power reliability and safety when compared to the current system. The new power feed will also provide additional power capacity to accommodate the rapid and continuing growth in our research programs into the future.

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要/摘要本申请的目的是要求由图兰大学补充的资金，该资金将用于改善和现代化杜兰国家灵长类动物研究中心（TNPRC）的动物和研究建筑的电气基础设施。 TNPRC的动物和研究建筑物支持大约35个核心和360个联盟NIH资助的研究人员。自卡特里娜飓风以来，杜兰大学和TNPRC已通过增加发电机容量，燃料储罐和电气升级来升级整个校园的紧急电力能力。这些升级越来越多地保证，在发生灾难性停电的情况下，支持这些领域的动物研究设施和支持这些领域的设施将保持全部功能。该应用程序中拟议项目的重点是TNPRC北部校园的电气分配系统的改进，这将导致冗余的电力进料到北部校园，从而相比，与当前系统相比，功率可靠性和安全性提高。新的动力饲料还将提供额外的功率能力，以适应未来研究计划的快速增长。
