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. With the characterization of the chimpanzee genome, there has been an increased interest in this species as a research model. This, along with continued Yerkes support of research for which the species is uniquely suitable, requires careful monitoring and management of animal assignments, which is now underway. Given that most of our chimpanzees are housed socially, considerable effort continues to be invested in contraception to prevent pregnancies. IUDs are the primary method of choice, with females unsuitable for IUD insertion receiving hormonal interventions for contraception. Continued improvements to chimpanzee housing have included resurfacing of enclosures, replacing wire mesh walls, improving doorway systems and providing additional environmental enrichment. These improvements facilitate animal welfare, animal husbandry, and chimpanzee research. Positive reinforcement training continues to be a high priority, including providing support to and working with Yerkes research personnel. The Center also has established a dedicated cognitive testing facility. The overall project goal is to maintain and study a population of chimpanzees and to ensure availability of this species to appropriate NIH funded investigators.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 随着对黑猩猩基因组的描述，已经有了 对这个物种作为研究模型的兴趣增加了。这, 伴随着耶克斯对该物种研究的持续支持 是唯一适合的，需要仔细监测和管理动物任务，目前正在进行这项工作。鉴于我们的大多数黑猩猩都是群居的，人们继续在避孕方面投入相当大的努力来防止怀孕。宫内节育器是女性的主要选择方法 不宜放置宫内节育器接受激素干预避孕。对黑猩猩住所的持续改进包括重新铺设围栏，更换铁丝网墙，改善门口系统，并提供更多的环境丰富。这些改进促进了动物福利、畜牧业和黑猩猩研究。正面强化培训仍然是一个高度优先事项，包括向耶尔克斯研究人员提供支持并与其合作。该中心还建立了专门的认知测试设施。该项目的总体目标是维持和研究黑猩猩的种群，并确保向适当的NIH资助的研究人员提供这种物种。
