The Tulane National Primate Research Center (TNPRC) is affiliated with Tulane University of Louisiana and was dedicated in 1964. The Center is part of Tulane University Health Sciences along with the School of Medicine, the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, and the School of Science and Engineering. The TNPRC is one of seven NIH-supported National Primate Research Centers that constitute the National Primate Research Center Program. This application requests funding for the five-year time period of May 1, 2018-April 30, 2023. Funds will be used to support administration, operations, animal resources, scientific research resources, a pilot research program, improvements and modernization, outreach, and education and training activities of the Center. The period since the last renewal of the TNPRC base grant has been a time of sustained growth and programmatic change. Individual investigator-initiated funding has increased to more than $34M in FY16-17. The Center has been successful in obtaining two large NIH contracts, the Simian Vaccine Evaluation Unit and the Nonhuman Primate Core Cellular Immunology Laboratory, largely based on the strong scientific capabilities and infrastructure of the Center. The TNPRC is the only NPRC to have a Regional Biosafety Laboratory (BSL3) that has been a key factor in obtaining funds to support numerous studies utilizing select agents and emerging infectious diseases including an expanding program in tuberculosis research. The animal resources program is fully accredited by AAALAC with exemplary status. Significant infrastructure projects have been completed within this time period including construction of a new surgical facility, an electrical distribution system upgrade, storm water treatment improvements, security camera upgrades, waste water treatment plant upgrades, purchase of state of the art equipment, and renovation of laboratory spaces. The strategic plan underwent a comprehensive review and a new five-year plan was created for 2016-2021 that serves as the blueprint for further scientific and developmental efforts. In the next grant period we will continue to improve infrastructure with plans for several renovation projects to create new laboratory space and complete a PET/CT imaging facility. We will capitalize on the presence of the large BSL3 facility to expand our research program in tuberculosis to include NIH grant and contract studies, foundation supported studies as well as expanding and diversifying our existing NIH funded research program. We will continue to develop our partnerships with private entities through our Business Development Officer where our expertise and research interests benefit both parties. We will also continue to develop our mentoring program to provide the best possible experience for trainees and junior faculty.!

图兰国家灵长类动物研究中心（TNPRC）隶属于路易斯安那州图兰大学和 该中心是杜兰大学健康科学的一部分。 医学，公共卫生与热带医学学院以及科学与工程学院。这 TNPRC是构成国家灵长类动物的七个由NIH支持的国家灵长类动物研究中心之一 研究中心计划。该申请要求在2018年5月1日至4月1日的五年期间提供资金 30，2023。资金将用于支持管理，操作，动物资源，科学研究 资源，试点研究计划，改进和现代化，外展以及教育与培训 中心的活动。 自TNPRC基础赠款最后续签以来的时期一直是持续增长的时期和 程序化更改。在2016-17财年，个人调查员发起的资金已增加到超过3400万美元。 该中心已经成功获得了两项大型NIH合同，猿猴疫苗评估单位和 非人类灵长类动物核心细胞免疫学实验室，主要基于强大的科学 中心的功能和基础设施。 TNPRC是唯一具有区域生物安全的NPRC 实验室（BSL3）一直是获得资金来支持众多研究的关键因素 药物和新兴的传染病，包括结核病研究的扩展计划。这 动物资源计划已由AAALAC完全认可，具有示例地位。重要的基础设施 项目已在此期间完成，包括建造新的外科手术设施， 电气配电系统升级，雨水处理改进，安全摄像头升级，废物 水处理厂的升级，购买最先进的设备以及实验室空间的翻新。 该战略计划接受了全面的审查，并为2016 - 2021年制定了新的五年计划 这是进一步的科学和发展努力的蓝图。 在下一个赠款期内，我们将继续通过几个翻新项目的计划来改善基础设施 创建新的实验室空间并完成PET/CT成像设施。我们将利用 大型BSL3设施以扩大我们在结核病研究计划的研究计划，包括NIH赠款和合同研究， 基金会支持研究，并扩大和多样化我们现有的NIH资助研究计划。 我们将继续通过业务发展官员与私人实体建立合作伙伴关系 我们的专业知识和研究兴趣使双方受益。我们还将继续发展我们的 指导计划为学员和初级教师提供最佳的体验。
