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. Regarding AIDS Research on chronic diseases has been and will continue to be an important and well-funded component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-supported research program at the SNPRC. The ongoing success of chronic disease research is dependent upon the continued provision of high-quality clinical care; however, growth in investigator research support and animal utilization has taxed ability to provide necessary clinical care and support for NHPs. This application requests funding to improve existing animal care facilities to fulfill the following long-term objectives: 1) to modernize and expand the Institution's capacity for providing clinical care for treating NHPs, especially baboons, that are active participants in or are being held for future research protocols; 2) to equip the renovated treatment rooms with additional examination tables, gurneys, carts, and procedure lights which are needed to provide high-quality animal care; 3) to upgrade the Institution's radiographic capabilities by acquisition of digital x-ray equipment; and 4) to bring the facilities into compliance with current National Research Council (NRC) ventilation recommendations for animal care areas. The proposed alteration and renovation will remediate current inefficiencies of space utilization and traffic movement and will utilize the space gained to create a larger treatment area. Clinical procedure capabilities will be expanded and modernized with needed equipment, and a critical care area will be established adjacent to the clinic area. An office space currently adjacent to the clinic will be relocated away from animal care areas. Finally, the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system will be replaced with a system that supplies 100 percent fresh air. The net result of the proposed renovations is to modernize aged facilities and to increase institutional capacity for provision of high-quality animal care.

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。 关于艾滋病 慢性病研究一直是并将继续是美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）支持的SNPRC研究计划的重要和资金充足的组成部分。慢性病研究的持续成功取决于持续提供高质量的临床护理;然而，研究者研究支持和动物利用的增长已经使为NHP提供必要的临床护理和支持的能力负担过重。该申请要求提供资金，以改善现有的动物护理设施，以实现以下长期目标：1）现代化和扩大该机构的能力，为治疗NHP提供临床护理，特别是狒狒，这些狒狒是积极参与者或正在为未来的研究方案而保留; 2）为翻新的治疗室配备额外的检查台、轮床、推车和手术灯，以提供高质量的动物护理; 3）通过购买数字X射线设备来提升机构的射线照相能力;以及4）使设施符合当前国家研究理事会（NRC）对动物护理区的通风建议。拟议的改建和翻修将纠正目前空间利用和交通流动效率低下的情况，并将利用获得的空间建立一个更大的处理区。将扩大临床程序能力，并配备所需设备进行现代化改造，并在诊所附近建立一个重症监护区。目前与诊所相邻的一个办公空间将从动物护理区搬迁出去。最后，供暖，通风和空调（HVAC）系统将被替换为提供100%新鲜空气的系统。拟议翻修的最终结果是使老化的设施现代化，并提高提供高质量动物护理的机构能力。
