A1D: MULTI-USER RESEARCH CORE FACILITIES- ANIMAL FACILITY

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 动物核心设施（ACF;成立于1998年）是JSU支持和服务生物医学研究的重要单位之一。后勤支持，研究资金和动物研究服务的ACF水平，我们的主要研究者（PI）在生物，化学和环境科学博士课程JSU部门的社区将得到推广，升级和扩大。基金（NIH）和联邦监管机构（USDA）严格执行研究中实验动物的机构护理和使用指南（指南，2002）、实验动物人道护理和使用PHS政策和动物福利法。ACF的目标是：1。 为JSU生物医学研究人员提供技术支持，通过提供实验设计和方案开发方面的专业知识，撰写基于体内的研究提案，提交给IACUC，以满足机构动物护理要求。2.为JSU研究人员提供执行动物研究议程的培训和技术支持; 根据2002年指南、PHS政策和动物福利法，保持JSU动物研究的合规性和许可状态。这些活动通过IACUC和机构官员（IO）进行监督和执行，并将为AAALAC/APHIS认证和未来的持续认证提供真实的文件。长期目标是：a）支持RCMI/JSU动物研究; B）满足研究动物饲养需求的增长; c）保持动物研究和饲养符合认证和监管机构的要求; d）为动物研究项目提供技术和后勤支持，并计划在JSU有效使用ACF。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Animal Core Facility (ACF; established in 1998) is one of the essential units of support and service to the biomedical research at JSU. The ACF levels of logistical support, research funding and animal research services to our community of Principal Investigators (PIs) at JSU departments of Biology, Chemistry and the Environmental Science PhD Program is to be promoted, upgraded and expanded. The continued compliance with the Guide for the Institutional Care and Use of Laboratory Animals in Research (the Guide, 2002), the PHS Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and the Animal Welfare Act is strictly enforced by funding (NIH) and federal regulatory agencies (USDA). Objectives of the ACF are to: 1. Provide technical support to JSU biomedical researchers for writing in vivo-based research proposals by providing expertise in experimental design and protocol development for submission to IACUC, in order to satisfy agency animal care mandates. 2. Provide training and technical support for JSU researchers in executing their animal research agenda, and 3. Maintain the compliance and licensing status of JSU animal research in accordance with the Guide 2002, the PHS Policy and the Animal Welfare Act. Such activities are overseen and enforced through IACUC and the Institutional Officer (IO) and will provide for the build-up an authentic documentary for AAALAC/APHIS accreditation and continued future accreditations. The long term goal is to a) support RCMI/JSU animal research; b) meet the increased demand for research animal housing; c) maintain animal research and husbandry compliance with accrediting and regulatory agencies; and d) provide technical and logistic support to the animal research program and plan for efficient future use of the ACF at JSU.
