项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Kansas Laboratory Animal Resources is a centrally managed animal facility that provides services to all animal users at KUMC. The animal care and use program is an integral part of a rapidly expanding research programs. Cancer research is the #1 priority for KU Medical Center. In the past few years, twenty-five new faculties were recruited to this program. On July 12, 2012, KUMC received the National Cancer Institute designation. Nearly a decade-long effort has brought top cancer researchers to KU Cancer Center, and millions of dollars in cancer research funding to the region. The animal care and use program has essential needs to support this growth in the research enterprise. We anticipate the animal housing buildings will be near its capacity next year based on recent animal care and use protocol approvals, and advanced animal procurement requests. The rationale for this application is based on a need for more reliable HVAC system in the principal animal housing site, the Research Support Facility building. Thus, the goals of this project are to replace the ground-first floor air handling unit, install an auxilary unit to serve as back up in times of mechanical failure or during maintenance, and replace the constant volume control boxes. This building upgrade will enable KUMC to meet environmental parameter standards prescribed by the 8th edition Guide, including adequate animal room pressurization in the pathogen free and ABSL-2 animal colonies.

描述（由申请人提供）：堪萨斯大学实验动物资源中心是一个集中管理的动物设施，为 KUMC 的所有动物用户提供服务。动物护理和使用计划是快速扩展的研究计划的一个组成部分。癌症研究是 KU 医疗中心的第一要务。在过去的几年里，该项目招募了 25 名新教师。 2012年7月12日，KUMC获得美国国家癌症研究所称号。经过近十年的努力，顶尖的癌症研究人员来到了堪萨斯大学癌症中心，并为该地区提供了数百万美元的癌症研究资金。动物护理和使用计划有必要支持研究企业的这种发展。根据最近的动物护理和使用协议批准以及先进的动物采购请求，我们预计动物住房建筑明年将接近其容量。该应用的基本原理是基于主要动物饲养场所（研究支持设施大楼）需要更可靠的 HVAC 系统。因此，该项目的目标是更换一楼空气处理机组，安装辅助机组以在机械故障或维护期间作为备份，并更换定风量控制箱。此次建筑升级将使 KUMC 能够满足第 8 版指南规定的环境参数标准，包括在无病原体和 ABSL-2 动物群体中提供足够的动物房加压。
