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. In the past decase, there has been an increasing awareness of the importance of providing group housing for nonhuman primates used in biomedical research. However, it can be difficult to gain access to group-housed monkeys for husbandry or research procedures. Training animals to voluntarily cooperate with these procedures can make group housing a viable option. The main objective of this pilot project is to demonstrate that training experimental rhesus macaques to cooperate with husbandry and/or research procedures so that they can live in social groups is a viable option at the ONPRC. In addition, this proposal examines factors (e.g., temperament and dominance) that may influence a subject's ability to be trained.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目及 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 在过去的案例中，人们越来越意识到为生物医学研究中使用的非人类灵长类动物提供集体住房的重要性。 然而，为了饲养或研究程序而接触群养的猴子可能很困难。 训练动物自愿配合这些程序可以使集体饲养成为一种可行的选择。 该试点项目的主要目标是证明训练实验性恒河猴与畜牧业和/或研究程序合作，使它们能够生活在社会群体中是 ONPRC 的一个可行选择。 此外，该提案还研究了可能影响受试者接受训练的能力的因素（例如气质和优势）。
