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. The main goal of the Behavioral Testing Facility (BTF) is to cover a need associated with the development of the basic sciences and clinical community at the Universidad Central del Caribe (UCC). Additionally, BTF has extended its services to all Puerto Rico's entire scientific community. We are proposing five specific aims for the renewal proposal. Specific Aim 1. To foster the usage of BTF by basic scientists and clinicians in Puerto Rico. Enhancement in the use of the facility will be addressed by the integration of two additional functional units within the BTF core: the Human Behavioral Phenotyping Unit (HBPU) and the Animal Behavioral Phenotyping Unit (ABPU). Specific Aim 2. To continue providing highly productive working conditions for the use of the existing equipment and the environment necessary for both ongoing and new projects oriented to translational research. Specific Aim 3. To continue the training of research assistants and other personnel and BTF's users in methods, equipment, experimental protocols and software used in behavioral experiments. This training will include new internet based methodologies to provide even greater access to our facilities. Specific Aim 4. To intensify the collaborative research at the UCC community, and between UCC and other local and Continental USA Universities, by effectively marketing the facility through the cooperative research network "Research Centers in Minority Institutions Translational Research Network" (http://www.rtrn.net) which is facilitating the translational research in health disparity areas. Specific Aim 5. To help the scientific community involved in experiments to acquire data and visualize animal behavior and/or psychomotor alteration related to translational research by maintaining updated the analytical methodologies. Our Behavioral Testing Facility has served 30 researchers, and currently 10 investigators are using the facility. Four new proposals recently submitted to federal agencies are including usage of BTF in their experiments.

该副本是利用众多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子弹和 调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构是 对于中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。 行为测试设施（BTF）的主要目的是涵盖与Central Del Caribe大学（UCC）基础科学和临床社区发展相关的需求。此外，BTF还将其服务扩展到了所有波多黎各的整个科学界。我们提出了五个针对续签建议的特定目标。 具体目标1。促进波多黎各基础科学家和临床医生对BTF的使用。通过在BTF核心内的两个其他功能单元的集成：人类行为表型单元（HBPU）和动物行为表型单元（ABPU），将通过整合两个其他功能单元来解决该设施使用的增强。 具体目标2。要继续提供高生产力的工作条件，用于使用现有设备以及以转化研究为导向的新项目所必需的环境。 具体目标3。继续在行为实验中使用的方法，设备，实验协议和软件来培训研究助理，其他人员和BTF的用户。该培训将包括新的基于Internet的方法，以提供更大的访问我们设施的方法。 具体目的4。通过通过合作研究网络“少数群体的研究中心转化研究网络的研究中心”（http://wwww.rtrn.net）有效地营销工厂，以加强UCC社区以及UCC与其他本地和美国美国大学之间的协作研究，这促进了促进健康不良领域的翻译研究。 具体目的5。通过维护更新的分析方法，以帮助参与实验的科学界，以获取数据并可视化与转化研究相关的动物行为和/或精神运动的改变。我们的行为测试设施为30名研究人员提供了服务，目前有10名调查人员正在使用该设施。 最近提交给联邦机构的四项新提案包括BTF在其实验中使用。
