BEHAVIORAL MANAGEMENT OF NONHUMAN PRIMATES

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。 圈养非人灵长类动物的行为管理计划包括应用环境富集技术，社会化策略和动物训练程序，以促进动物的心理健康。 行为管理计划的各个方面都将受益于科学评估，本项目包括各种各样的评估。 其中一项研究是一项全面的调查，以记录大量非人类灵长类动物实验室设施的行为管理现状。 另一项研究综合了行为学和兽医学文献，描述了准备黑猩猩参与生物医学研究的最佳实践，以减少痛苦并提高黑猩猩作为动物模型的质量。 那些指导行为管理项目的人努力治疗各种行为病理。 另一项研究回顾了用于治疗人类类似行为病理的治疗技术，并考虑这些技术是否适用于非人类灵长类动物。最后一项研究是对与养育年幼黑猩猩有关的行为管理问题以及不同养育策略的长期行为后果的综合。

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. Behavioral management programs for captive nonhuman primates include the application of environmental enrichment techniques, socialization strategies, and animal training procedures to promote the psychological well-being of the animals. Various aspects of behavioral management programs will benefit from scientific evaluation, and this project includes a diversity of such evaluations. One study was a comprehensive survey was completed to document the current state of behavioral management at a large number of laboratory facilities housing nonhuman primates. Another study synthesized behavioral and veterinary literature to describe best practices for preparing chimpanzees for participation in biomedical research to reduce distress and to improve the quality of the chimpanzee as an animal model. Those directing behavioral management programs grapple with treating a variety of behavioral pathologies. Another study reviewed treatment techniques that have been applied to treat similar behavioral pathologies in humans, and to consider whether these techniques might be applicable to nonhuman primates. A final study was a synthesis of behavioral management issues related to the rearing of young chimpanzees, and the long-term behavioral consequences of different rearing strategies.
