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. The main goal of the Behavioral Testing Facility (BTF) is to cover a need associated with the development processes of several groups at the Universidad Central del Caribe (UCC). The Behavioral Testing Facility is of fundamental importance for a variety of ongoing and new projects at the UCC. Our projection is to serve as a reference facility, making available the study of animal behavior to laboratories in Puerto Rico as well as the continental US. All services offered by the BTF directly use the equipment located in the physical facility and also use other routes of data acquisition such as remote acquisition by means of wireless equipment. Last year we carried out the facility's marketing of the Puerto Rican scientific community with the purpose of recruiting new users. We are continually promoting and increasing collaborations among UCC-investigators and between UCC-laboratories and other academic institutions in Puerto Rico. These approaches were and have been very successful, as demonstrated by the enrollment of new users, three of them from the UCC and two from the external scientific community. The facility has been improved by including the non-invasive evaluation of vital parameters (Heart-Rate, Blood Oxygen Saturation, Respiratory-Rate, etc.) in mice and rats. The evaluation performed previous to the behavioral testing represented a strong and promising enhancement during behavioral analysis. In the near future, we will dedicate our efforts to restore the acquisition of data across Internet2. This objective will be implemented in collaboration with Network and Information Systems Administration at the UCC.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 行为测试设施（BTF）的主要目标是满足与加勒比中央大学（UCC）几个团体的发展过程相关的需求。行为测试设施对于UCC的各种正在进行的项目和新项目至关重要。我们的计划是作为一个参考设施，使动物行为的研究提供给实验室在波多黎各以及美国大陆。BTF提供的所有服务都直接使用位于物理设施中的设备，也使用其他数据采集途径，例如通过无线设备进行远程采集。 去年，我们对波多黎各科学界进行了设施营销，目的是招募新用户。我们不断促进和增加UCC研究人员之间的合作，以及UCC实验室和波多黎各其他学术机构之间的合作。这些方法过去和现在都非常成功，新用户的注册证明了这一点，其中三个来自UCC，两个来自外部科学界。 该设施已得到改善，包括非侵入性评估的重要参数（心率，血氧饱和度，呼吸率等）。在小鼠和大鼠中。在行为测试之前进行的评估代表了行为分析期间的强大且有希望的增强。在不久的将来，我们将致力于通过Internet 2恢复数据采集。这一目标将与UCC的网络和信息系统管理局合作实施。
