The objective of this proposal is to continue support of the infrastructure of the Southwest National Primate Research Center (SNPRC). The SNPRC is located on the campus of the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research, its host institution. The SNPRC maintains over 4,000 nonhuman primates, primarily baboons, macaques, marmosets, and chimpanzees. It maintains large breeding populations of baboons, rhesus macaques, and common marmosets. During the current grant period, the SNPRC provided resources to 290 investigators from 35 states. The base grant is composed of four types of components: Administration, Primate Resources, Veterinary Resources, and Research Resources. The Research Resource components and the research programs that utilize them are divided among four Focus Groups: Infectious Diseases and Biodefense, Chronic Diseases, Development and Aging, and Genomics. The mission of the SNPRC is "To improve the health of our global community through innovative biomedical research with nonhuman primates." Consistent with this mission, the SNPRC is committed to translational research and is a partner in two CTSA applications that are in review. The administration, primate resource, veterinary resource, and research resource infrastructures supported by the base grant enable the SNPRC to be responsive to national biomedical research needs and to accommodate investigators who want to access Center resources for collaborative research purposes. Special, and in some cases unique, strengths of the SNPRC are a wide variety of primate species to meet diverse research needs; the largest pedigreed and genotyped population of nonhuman primates available for genetic research; broad research opportunities with the largest chimpanzee population at any National Primate Research Center; ABSL-3 and ABSL-4 facilities; research emphasis and expertise on gene discovery for common chronic diseases, development of vaccines and drugs for infectious diseases, preventions and treatments of neonatal diseases, and stem cell biology; and service as a national resource for genetic management of nonhuman primates.

该提案的目的是继续支持西南国家基础设施的发展。 灵长类动物研究中心（SNPRC）。SNPRC位于西南基金会的校园内， 生物医学研究，其主办机构。SNPRC拥有超过4，000只非人类灵长类动物，主要是 狒狒、猕猴、绒猴和黑猩猩。它维持着大量的狒狒繁殖种群， 恒河猴和普通的绒猴。在本授予期间，SNPRC提供了 向来自35个州的290名调查员提供了资源。基本补助金由四类组成： 管理，灵长类动物资源，兽医资源和研究资源。研究 资源组成部分和利用它们的研究方案分为四个重点小组： 传染病和生物防御，慢性病，发展和衰老，基因组学。 SNPRC的使命是“通过创新和创新， 非人类灵长类动物的生物医学研究。“根据这一使命，SNPRC致力于 翻译研究，是两个正在审查的CTSA申请的合作伙伴。行政部门， 灵长类动物资源、兽医资源和研究资源基础设施，由基本赠款支持 使SNPRC能够响应国家生物医学研究需求，并适应 希望访问中心资源以进行合作研究的研究人员。特别的，在 一些情况下，独特的，优势的SNPRC是各种各样的灵长类动物物种，以满足多样化的研究 需要;最大的血统和基因型人口的非人类灵长类动物可用于遗传 研究;广泛的研究机会与最大的黑猩猩人口在任何国家灵长类动物 研究中心; ABSL-3和ABSL-4设施;研究重点和基因发现的专业知识， 常见慢性病、传染病疫苗和药物的开发、预防和 新生儿疾病的治疗和干细胞生物学;以及作为国家遗传资源的服务 管理非人类灵长类动物。
