BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENT CORE

该子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供。子项目的主要支持 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。 列出的子项目总成本可能 表示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。 行为评估核心为CNPRC的研究人员以及其他进行非人类灵长类研究的机构提供专业服务。 提供三种类型的服务：（1）使用CNPRC的协议和设备进行标准化行为评估，（2）使用正强化技术对猴子进行培训，以促进研究程序，（3）对三个月大的恒河猴进行生物行为表征，并与CNPRC历史数据库进行比较。该中心可以向在行为技术方面有经验的调查人员提供培训、设备和方案，或者可以使用有经验的技术人员进行评估。场外项目可以通过视频记录的行为和访问历史数据库。此外，亦会就测试选择、数据总结、分析及解释提供意见。提供材料，帮助调查人员将核心服务纳入赠款和合同提案。

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. The Behavior Assessment Core provides specialized services to investigators at CNPRC, as well as other institutions that conduct nonhuman primate research. Three types of services are offered: (1) standardized behavioral assessments using protocols and equipment at CNPRC, (2) training of monkeys to facilitate research procedures using positive reinforcement techniques, (3) biobehavioral characterization of three-month old rhesus monkeys ad comparison with CNPRC historical database. The core can provide training, equipment and protocols to investigators experienced in behavioral techniques, or can conduct the evaluations using experienced technical staff. Offsite projects can be accommodated via video recording of behaviors and access to historical databases. Consultation in selecting tests, and data summary, analysis and interpretation are also provided on a recharge basis. Materials are made available to help investigators include core services in grant and contract proposals.
