DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Neural Science (CNS), the Department of Biology and the Department of Psychology are the primary locus of teaching and research in neuroscience, biological and behavioral sciences at the Washington Square campus of New York University (NYU). Over the last ten years New York University has promoted initiatives in genomics with a strong component in the genetic basis of behavior, in functional brain imaging, and in computation. These have involved joint contributions from the Departments of Biology, Psychology and CNS. These developments are part of a strategic plan to promote excellence in brain science from genetics, molecular biology, systems neuroscience, and computation to behavior. This grant application addresses necessary facility improvements at NYU's two main animal facilities at the Washington Square Campus (Silver and Meyer) critical to support funded investigators in Neural Science, Biology, and associated departments of the University and to continue improvements in the existing facilities and program that will result in AAALAC Accreditation. To support increasing use of mouse models 12 OptiMice ventilated cage systems are requested to supplement current existing caging. Procurement and installation of a new cage and rack washer is requested to replace a marginally operating 10 year old machine. Facility renovation of existing space is proposed to increase capability for primate housing and increase space for food, bedding, cage preparation and storage.

描述（由申请人提供）：神经科学中心（CNS），生物学系和心理学系是纽约大学华盛顿广场校园（NYU）的神经科学，生物学和行为科学教学和研究的主要源头。在过去的十年中，纽约大学在行为，功能性脑成像和计算中促进了具有很强成分的基因组学计划。 这些涉及生物学，心理学和中枢神经系统部门的共同贡献。 这些发展是一项战略计划的一部分，旨在从遗传学，分子生物学，系统神经科学和计算到行为促进脑科学方面的卓越表现。该赠款申请介绍了纽约大学（NYU）在华盛顿广场校园（Silver and Meyer）的两个主要动物设施的必要设施改进，这对于支持大学神经科学，生物学和大学相关部门的资助研究人员至关重要，并继续改善现有设施和计划，以导致AAALAC认可。为了支持增加鼠标模型的使用12最佳通风笼系统，以补充当前现有的笼子。要求采购和安装新的笼子和架子垫圈，以更换一台略有操作的10年历史的机器。建议对现有空间进行设施翻新，以提高灵长类动物住房的能力，并增加食物，床上用品，笼子准备和储存的空间。
