ASB1 Containment Expansion

描述（由申请人提供）：艾滋病相关研究是俄勒冈州国家灵长类动物研究中心（ONPRC）病理生物学和免疫学部门的主要重点。ONPRC的非人灵长类动物（NHP）资源和艾滋病疾病模型为寻找有效的疫苗和治疗方法做出了重要贡献，然而，由于缺乏足够的生物遏制空间，ONPRC艾滋病研究计划目前受到限制。生物防护空间的年使用量从2005年的50个国家卫生中心增加到2010年的330个国家卫生中心。对空间需求的巨大增长导致2010年项目延误长达六个月。虽然改进的操作程序正在有效和高效地利用现有的生物防护空间，但仅靠操作程序无法克服物理空间的限制。该项目建议在动物服务大楼（ASB）的生物防护空间上增加一个额外的空间，增加六个动物房和一个厨房。动物房的增加将增加96个笼子空间，用于开展艾滋病相关研究，厨房将确保在生物防护屏障内提供所有研究和动物福利服务。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): AIDS related research is a major focus of the Division of Pathobiology and Immunology at the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC). The nonhuman primate (NHP) resource and disease models for AIDS at the ONPRC have contributed importantly to the search for effective vaccines and therapies, however, the ONPRC AIDS research program is currently limited due to a lack of sufficient bio-containment space. Annual usage of bio-containment space has increased from 50 NHPs in 2005 to 330 NHPs in 2010. This tremendous growth in demand for space has resulted in project delays in 2010 of up to six months. Although improved operating procedures are making effective and efficient use of existing bio-containment space, the physical space limitation cannot be overcome by operating procedures alone. This project proposes to construct an addition to the Animal Services Building (ASB) bio-containment space that will add six animal rooms and a kitchen. The addition of the animal rooms will add 96 cage spaces for the conduct of AIDS related research, and the kitchen will ensure that all services for research and animal welfare can be provided within the bio-containment barrier.
