Tulane National Primate Research Center Emergency Response to COVID-19 Expansion of Outdoor Breeding Corrals

修订后的标题： 杜兰国家灵长类动物研究中心应急响应新冠肺炎户外养殖畜栏扩围 修订摘要： 杜兰国家灵长类动物研究中心(TNPRC)是美国最大的无特定病原体(SPF)猕猴繁育群体之一。全国对这些高质量的非人类灵长类动物模型的需求超过了供应，面对当前的SARS-CoV-2大流行，需求有所增加。SARS-CoV-2大流行给已建立的无特定病原体(SPF)猕猴繁殖群体带来了巨大压力，并威胁到为研究提供足够动物的能力。TNPRC P51基本奖助金(P51 OD011104)为广泛的研究项目提供资金，以维持一个由健康、行为正常、遗传多样性和特征良好的非人类灵长类组成的自我维持的种群。P51基础补助金的这一补充将用于增加一个住房围栏单元，并为额外的繁殖动物提供资金支持，以扩大种群。这一改进带来的好处将扩大TNPRC SPF猕猴研究基础设施，以确保这些群体是可持续的，并能够在未来很好地提供具有良好特色的研究模型。

Revised Title: Tulane National Primate Research Center Emergency Response to COVID-19 Expansion of Outdoor Breeding Corrals Revised Abstract: The Tulane National Primate Research Center (TNPRC) one of the largest specific pathogen free (SPF) rhesus monkey breeding colonies in the United States. National need for these high-quality nonhuman primate models exceeds supply, and demand has increased in the face of the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has placed tremendous pressure on established specific pathogen free (SPF) rhesus macaque breeding colonies and threatens the capacity to provide sufficient animals for research. The TNPRC P51 base grant award (P51 OD011104) provides funds to maintain a self-sustaining population of healthy, behaviorally normal, genetically diverse, and well-characterized nonhuman primates for a broad range of research projects. This supplement to the P51 base grant will be used to add a housing enclosure unit and provide financial support for additional breeding animals for population expansion. The benefits realized from this improvement will expand the TNPRC SPF rhesus macaque research infrastructure to assure these colonies are sustainable and able to provide well characterized research models well into the future.
