这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 背景：NIA留出计划在几个设施中维护老年恒河猴，以便分配给NIA资助的调查人员。目前TNPRC对NIA殖民地的普查是45只，其中包括印度血统的恒河猴，男女年龄从17.83岁到25.85岁不等。方法：这些动物被安置在它们的繁殖群体队列中，在几个围栏中，或者它们与一个相容的同种动物配对安置在室内。结果/讨论：自2002年11月以来，68只动物被运往附属调查人员手中。此外，在去年，来自五个动物的组织被送往支持NIA支持的项目。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Background: The NIA set aside program maintains aged rhesus monkeys at several facilities to provide for allocation to NIA-funded investigators. The current census of the NIA colony at TNPRC is 45, which is comprised of Indian-origin rhesus macaques of both sexes ranging in age from 17.83 to 25.85 years of age. Methods: The animals are housed among their breeding colony cohorts in several enclosures or they are pair housed with a compatible conspecific in indoor housing. Results/Discussion: Since November 2002, 68 animals have been shipped to affiliate investigators. Additionally, in the last year, tissues from five animals were sent to support NIA-supported programs.
