DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests support for the construction of a new satellite animal care facility that will facilitate biomedical research and training. The facility will be located in New York City at the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI), a non-federal institution that focuses on clinical and basic research related to a broad spectrum of mental disorders. The proposed facility will provide animal housing and testing space for researchers recently relocated to NYSPI's newest building. In combination with the space freed in the central facility, the new site will yield additional room for the rapid expansion of mouse and primate studies. It will be constructed in 3300 square feet of existing shell space in the Institute's main building. Approximately one third will be dedicated to housing, one third for testing and surgery, and one third for food, bedding, and cage storage, plus common corridors. The facility will be divided into a rat section and a mouse section, each having surgical and general procedure areas, several test rooms, two to three housing rooms, and some rooms of flexible design that can be shifted between testing and housing. Animal husbandry will be minimized by using high-density ventilated cages, an automated watering system, and a vacuum bedding removal system. Dirty racks and cages will be transported through dedicated service hallways and elevators to the Institute's central animal care facility in an adjacent building for cleaning. The design will meet all NIH guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals and health and safety regulations for staff.

描述(由申请人提供)： 该提案要求支持建造一个新的卫星动物护理设施，以促进生物医学研究和培训。该机构将设在纽约市的纽约州精神病学研究所(NYSPI)，这是一家专注于与广泛的精神障碍相关的临床和基础研究的非联邦机构。拟建的设施将为最近搬迁到NYSPI最新大楼的研究人员提供动物住所和测试空间。与中心设施腾出的空间相结合，新场地将为老鼠和灵长类动物研究的快速扩展提供额外的空间。它将在研究所主楼现有的3300平方英尺的外壳空间内建造。大约三分之一将用于住房，三分之一用于测试和手术，三分之一用于食物、床上用品和笼子存储，外加公共走廊。该设施将分为老鼠区和鼠区，每个区都有手术和一般程序区，几个测试室，两到三个住房，以及一些灵活设计的房间，可以在测试和住房之间切换。畜牧业将通过使用高密度通风笼子、自动浇水系统和真空床上用品清除系统来最大限度地减少。肮脏的架子和笼子将通过专用的服务走廊和电梯被运送到研究所位于邻近建筑的中央动物护理设施进行清洁。该设计将符合美国国立卫生研究院关于照顾和使用实验室动物的所有指南以及工作人员的健康和安全规定。
