BEHAVIORAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

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。 2010年，心理健康计划更名为行为管理计划(BMP)。这一新的指定反映了动物管理技术的范围扩大，BMP人员目前正在使用这些技术来改善该设施中圈养的非人类灵长类动物(HHP)的行为和福利。行为管理的概念包括环境丰富、积极强化培训、社会行为管理、操作程序和环境设计，以期以理想的方式改变行为。BMP与兽医和畜牧业人员密切合作，最大限度地提高WaNPRC所有NHP的健康和福祉。BMP监督华盛顿大学非人类灵长类动物环境改善计划在WaNPRC的实施。作为该计划的一部分，畜牧业工作人员在殖民地经理的监督下，负责发放玩具、食物和觅食。BMP记录付款并确保合规。BMP实施社会住房，并监测非豁免NHP的兼容性。BMP还评估和治疗行为问题。BMP项目通过开展和发表关于行为管理主题的重要和相关研究，继续为目前公认的动物福利专业标准做出贡献。卡罗琳·克罗基特博士于2010年4月退休，朱莉·M·沃莱因博士担任该项目的负责人。Worlein博士拥有30多年的NHP工作经验。去年，BMP采用了“观察家”观测软件和上网本，以简化数据收集和存储。在过去的一年里，BMP还对检测和治疗异常行为的程序进行了重大修订，并澄清了哪些行为被认为是异常行为。2010年，BMP还试点使用网络连接摄像头来监控行为。

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. During 2010 the Psychological Well Being Program was renamed to the Behavioral Management Program (BMP). This new designation reflects the broadened scope of animal management techniques that are currently employed by BMP personnel to improve the behavior and welfare of captive nonhuman primates (NHPs) at this facility. The concept of behavioral management incorporates environmental enrichment, positive reinforcement training, management of social behavior, operational procedures and environmental design to modify behavior in desirable ways. The BMP works closely with veterinary and husbandry personnel to maximize the health and well being of all NHPs housed at the WaNPRC. The BMP oversees the implementation of the University of Washington Environmental Enhancement Plan for nonhuman primates at the WaNPRC. Husbandry staff, under the supervision of the Colony Manager, is responsible for disbursing toys, food and foraging treats as part of this plan. The BMP documents disbursement and ensures compliance. The BMP implements social housing and monitors compatibility for non-exempted NHPs. The BMP also assesses and treats behavioral problems. The BMP Program continues to contribute to currently accepted professional standards of animal welfare by conducting and publishing significant and relevant research on behavioral management topics. Dr. Carolyn Crockett retired in April of 2010 and direction of the program was assumed by Dr. Julie M. Worlein. Dr. Worlein has over 30 years of experience working with NHPs. During the last year the BMP has adopted the use of "The Observer" observational software and use of netbooks to streamline data collection and storage. In the past year the BMP has also made major revisions to the procedures for detecting and treating abnormal behaviors as well as clarifying which behaviors are considered abnormal. In 2010 the BMP also piloted use of web-linked cameras to monitor behavior.
