EXTRAMURAL RESEARCH FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION

描述(由申请人提供)： 俄勒冈健康与科学大学(OHSU)寻求资金，在俄勒冈州国家灵长类动物研究中心(ONPRC)建设一期新建筑。拟议的设施将被称为非SPF集团住房和中央支助大楼。研究的快速发展，无特定病原体(SPF)繁殖群体的扩大，以及美国农业部执行《非人灵长类动物环境改善政策草案》，都需要为非人类灵长类动物(NHP)提供更多的社会住房，并增加动物中心支持空间。我们的长期目标是：1)尽可能为社会团体或结对的NHP提供住房；2)保护SPF印第安原产猕猴不断增长的种群；3)为越来越多的研究项目腾出笼子空间；以及4)提供最先进的中央支持设施，使ONPRC的所有NHP受益。为达致这些目标，我们建议分两期兴建一座非公积金团体住屋及中央支援大楼，第一期由这笔C06拨款资助。拟建建筑的第一阶段将占地12,690平方英尺(GSF)，将包括16个动物拘留室，可容纳多达160个成年非SPF NHP，以8-10只动物为一组；一个非SPF诊所/医院/托儿所；一个新的中央饮食厨房，带食品储藏室、步入式冰箱、步入式冷冻室、集中式商业饲料存储；以及一个独立的房间，作为心理健康计划的一部分，用于准备和分发NHP浓缩产品。具体目标1建议为非SPF卫生保健计划建造室内集体住房和辅助设施(诊所、医院、托儿所)。具体目标2建议建设中央营养和强化支持设施(节食厨房、食品储藏室、冷藏室、冰柜、农产品加工和饲料储存)，为所有OHSU卫生保健计划提供服务。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) seeks funds to construct Phase I of a new building at the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC). The proposed facility will be called the Non-SPF Group Housing and Central Support Building. Rapid research growth, expansion of Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) breeding colonies, and enforcement by USDA of the "Draft Policy on Environment Enhancement for Nonhuman Primates," necessitate additional social housing for nonhuman primates (NHPs) and increased animal central support space. Our long-term objectives are to: 1) provide housing for NHPs in social groups or pairs whenever possible; 2) protect growing populations of SPF Indian Origin Rhesus Macaques; 3) free-up cage space for the growing number of research projects; and 4) provide state-of-the-art central support facilities to benefit all NHPs at ONPRC. To accomplish these objectives, we are proposing to construct a Non-SPF Group Housing and Central Support Building in two phases, the first phase to be funded with this C06 grant. Phase 1 of the proposed building will be 12,690 gross square feet (gsf) and will include 16 animal holding rooms to house up to 160 adult non-SPF NHPs in groups of 8-10 animals, a non-SPF clinic/hospital/nursery, a new central diet kitchen with pantry, walk-in cooler, walk-in freezer, centralized commercial feed storage, and a separate room to prepare and distribute produce for NHP enrichment as part of the Psychological Well Being program. Specific Aim 1 proposes to construct indoor group housing and support facilities (clinic, hospital, nursery) for non-SPF NHPs. Specific Aim 2 proposes to construct central nutritional and enrichment support facilities (diet kitchen, pantry, cooler, freezer, produce processing, and feed storage) to service all OHSU NHPs.
