DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The general objective of this project is to upgrade cage wash support service equipment for two satellite buildings housing laboratory animals in the Division of Laboratory Animal Resources at Stony Brook University (SBU). The University has both short and long-term goals to improve the animal resource physical plant and to provide the equipment necessary for future facility expansion. It is also vital to keep all facilities functioning in compliance with regulatory and AAALAC guidelines. This project addresses an essential short-term facility goal to replace the aging cage and rack washing equipment in the Psychology A and Life Sciences buildings, through minor renovation and the purchase of major equipment. Program expansion in molecular biology, genetics, cancer and translational research has been identified by the Dean of the School of Medicine as four major areas for research development at Stony Brook University in the next five years. The existing cage and rack washers in these two facilities are over 22 years old and were both completely rebuilt in the early 1990's. The existing equipment is long past its useful lifespan and we are now spending considerable time and money to keep them up and running. Funds from this application would purchase capital equipment (two cage and rack washers) and perform the minimal facility renovations for existing equipment removal and installation of new replacement units.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的一般目标是在Stony Brook University（SBU）实验室动物资源部升级两座卫星建筑物住房实验室动物的笼子式洗手服务设备。该大学具有改善动物资源物理厂的短期和长期目标，并提供未来设施扩展所需的设备。将所有设施保持符合监管和AAALAC指南，这也至关重要。 该项目通过轻微的翻新和购买主要设备来替代心理学和生命科学大楼中陈年笼和洗礼设备的重要短期设施目标。在未来五年中，医学院的院长确定了分子生物学，遗传学，癌症和转化研究的计划扩展为研究开发的四个主要领域。这两个设施中的现有笼子和机架垫圈已有22年的历史，并且在1990年代初期都经过了完全重建。现有的设备已经超过了其有用的寿命，我们现在正在花费大量时间和金钱来保持它们的启动和运行。该应用程序的资金将购买资本设备（两个笼子和机架垫圈），并进行最小的设施翻新，以拆除现有的设备并安装新的替换单元。
