DEVELOPING AND IMPROVING INSTITUTIONAL ANIMAL RESOURCES

弗吉尼亚大学已经证明了对 提供优质的动物护理服务，以支持其研究和教学 程序. 支持的形式是高质量的专业护理， 工作人员和学生的培训，并关注动物福利的问题。 该大学最近完成了一个6100平方英尺的除了其 动物设施。 在一些较老的设施中， 更换老化的保持架垫圈。 该基金旨在支持一个这样的 更换.这种替换对于卫生要求是必不可少的。 该拨款还要求支持小鼠隔离单位，以容纳 核心转基因设施的第一代后代。这些单位将 集中分配，以确保成本效益。 在 此外，还寻求支助灵长类动物的住房。 这一要求在 对大学被指定为研究中心的回应 避孕和生育。 基础研究是在一些 物种，但人们越来越重视灵长类动物的研究模式。 寻求新的笼舍或福利单位，以保证最高质量的护理 这符合各机构和专业惯例 标准 所有这些锁定都将集中分配， 如果研究方向发生变化，

The University of Virginia has demonstrated a continuing commitment to the provision of quality animal care in support of its research and teaching programs. Support has been in the form of quality professional care, staff and student training, and attention to issues of animal well-being. The University recently completed a 6100 square foot addition to its animal facilities. In several older facilities there has been the need to replace aging cage washers. This grant seeks support for one such replacement. This replacement is essential for sanitation requirements. The grant also asks for support for mice isolation units to house the first generation progeny of the core transgenic facility. These units will be centrally assigned and allocated to ensure cost-effectiveness. In addition, support is sought for primate housing. This request is in response to the University's designation as a center for research in contraception and fertility. Basic research is done on a number of species, but there is a growing emphasis on the primate research model. New caging or well-being units are sought to guarantee top quality care that is consistent with various agency and professional practice standards. All of this caging will be centrally assigned so that use is maximized should the direction of research change.
