TRAINING GROUP-HOUSE RHESUS MACAQUES

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。 在过去的十年里，人们越来越意识到为用于生物医学研究的非人灵长类动物提供群体圈养的重要性。 然而，很难获得群体圈养的猴子进行饲养或研究程序。 训练动物自愿配合这些程序可以使群体住房成为一个可行的选择。 该试点项目的主要目标是证明，在ONPRC，训练实验恒河猴与饲养和/或研究程序合作，使它们能够生活在社会群体中是一个可行的选择。 此外，本提案还审查了各种因素（例如，气质和支配力），这可能会影响受试者的训练能力。

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. In the past decase, there has been an increasing awareness of the importance of providing group housing for nonhuman primates used in biomedical research. However, it can be difficult to gain access to group-housed monkeys for husbandry or research procedures. Training animals to voluntarily cooperate with these procedures can make group housing a viable option. The main objective of this pilot project is to demonstrate that training experimental rhesus macaques to cooperate with husbandry and/or research procedures so that they can live in social groups is a viable option at the ONPRC. In addition, this proposal examines factors (e.g., temperament and dominance) that may influence a subject's ability to be trained.
