DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The California National Primate Research Center (CNPRC) is one of eight National Primate Research Centers (NPRC's) funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Research Resources (NIH/NCRR). As of May 1, 2009, the non-human primate animal colony at the CNPRC totaled 5,377 animals, 2,162 of which are housed indoors. During the past two years, the CNPRC purchased and installed eight modular animal buildings for indoor housing of nonhuman primates, necessary to keep pace with the expanding research program. Another building will be completed in the Fall of 2009. Each of these building has the capacity to house 80 animals, resulting in a total increase in indoor animal cages of 720. The CNPRC is requesting funding in the amount of $498,664 to purchase and install a Steris model 4601 rack washer to accommodate the recent 35% increase in cage wash activities. Total project cost is estimated to be $692,561. Our host institution will provided matching funds in the amount of $193,917 from non-federal sources in support of this project. An additional cage facility will accomplish the following: " Increase cage wash capacity to accommodate recent growth in CNPRC indoor caged housing to better accommodate current and future planned nonhuman primate research activities; " Minimize the distance between indoor animal rooms and the cage wash facility, which will: Improve infection control practices by minimizing the distance soiled cages will be transported; Reduce stress to the animals that occurs during the cage change process, by reducing the time required; Provide a backup facility to augment the current cage washer; " Improve cage repair efficiencies by co-locating with the Shop facility; " Improve safety by eliminating congestion in the existing cage wash area and eliminating the necessity for forklifts to carry caging across a main traffic corridor.

描述（由申请人提供）：加州国家灵长类动物研究中心（CNPRC）是由美国国立卫生研究院国家研究资源中心（NIH/NCRR）资助的八个国家灵长类动物研究中心（NPRC）之一。截至2009年5月1日，CNPRC的非人灵长类动物群共有5，377只动物，其中2，162只在室内饲养。在过去的两年里，CNPRC购买并安装了八个模块化动物建筑，用于非人灵长类动物的室内居住，这是跟上不断扩大的研究计划所必需的。另一座大楼将于2009年秋季完工。这些建筑物每栋可容纳80只动物，因此室内动物笼子总数增加了720个。CNPRC要求提供498，664美元的资金，用于购买和安装Steris 4601型机架清洗机，以适应最近增加35%的笼清洗活动。项目费用总额估计为692 561美元。我们的主办机构将从非联邦来源提供193 917美元的配套资金，以支持这一项目。一个额外的笼子设施将实现以下目标：“增加笼子清洗能力，以适应CNPRC室内笼舍的最近增长，以更好地适应当前和未来计划的非人灵长类动物研究活动;“最大限度地减少室内动物房和笼子清洗设施之间的距离，这将：通过最大限度地减少污染笼子的运输距离，改善感染控制实践;通过减少所需时间，减少在换笼过程中对动物的压力;提供备用设施，以增加当前的笼清洗机;“通过与车间设施共处一处，提高笼维修效率;"通过消除现有笼清洗区的拥堵，并消除叉车在主管道上搬运笼的必要性，提高安全性交通走廊。
