This award renews support for maintenance of a collection of prosimian primates housed at the Duke University Primate Center (DUPC). Study of the biology and behavior of Prosimians continues to increase in scope, intensity, and sophistication, and it is now one of the most active and exciting fields of primatology. The DUPC houses the largest and most diverse collection of prosimian primates in the world, most of whom are native to Madagascar. The Center is recognized as the focal point for prosimian research and conservation activities outside Madagascar. As part of its research mission, the DUPC provides on-site access to animals, and ships tissues and blood samples to faculty and students from diverse local, regional, national, and foreign institutions for off-site use. Users are charged a fee scaled to the kind and quantity of usage. This award insures the continued availability of animals and tissues for use by outside researchers at relatively modest cost.

该奖项再次支持对杜克大学灵长类动物中心 (DUPC) 饲养的原猴灵长类动物群的维护。 对原猴生物学和行为的研究在范围、强度和复杂性上不断增加，它现在是灵长类动物学中最活跃和令人兴奋的领域之一。 DUPC 拥有世界上最大、最多样化的原猴灵长类动物群，其中大多数原产于马达加斯加。 该中心被认为是马达加斯加以外原猿研究和保护活动的焦点。 作为其研究任务的一部分，DUPC 提供现场接触动物的机会，并将组织和血液样本运送给来自不同地方、地区、国家和外国机构的教师和学生以供场外使用。用户需要根据使用的种类和数量付费。 该奖项确保了外部研究人员能够以相对适中的成本持续获得动物和组织。
