项目摘要

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.!

杜兰国家灵长类动物研究中心 (TNPRC) 隶属于路易斯安那州杜兰大学于 1964 年落成。该中心与杜兰大学健康科学学院一起属于杜兰大学健康科学学院医学院、公共卫生与热带医学院、科学与工程学院。这 TNPRC 是 NIH 支持的七个国家灵长类动物研究中心之一，这些中心构成了国家灵长类动物研究中心研究中心计划。本申请请求2018年5月1日至4月五年期间的资助 2023 年 3 月 30 日。资金将用于支持行政、运营、动物资源、科学研究资源、试点研究计划、改进和现代化、外展以及教育和培训中心的活动。自上次更新 TNPRC 基本补助金以来，这段时间是持续增长和程序化的改变。 2016-17 财年，个人研究者发起的资金已增加至超过 3400 万美元。该中心已成功获得两项大型 NIH 合同：猿猴疫苗评估单位和非人类灵长类核心细胞免疫学实验室，很大程度上基于强大的科学中心的能力和基础设施。 TNPRC 是唯一拥有区域生物安全的 NPRC 实验室 (BSL3) 是获得资金支持众多研究的关键因素病原体和新出现的传染病，包括扩大结核病研究计划。这动物资源计划获得 AAALAC 的完全认可，具有模范地位。重要的基础设施在此期间完成的项目包括建造一个新的手术设施、一个配电系统升级、雨水处理改进、安全摄像头升级、废物处理水处理厂升级、购买最先进的设备以及实验室空间的翻新。全面审视战略规划，制定2016-2021年新五年计划这是进一步科学和发展努力的蓝图。在下一个资助期内，我们将继续改善基础设施，计划实施多个改造项目，以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，用于扩展我们的结核病研究计划，包括 NIH 拨款和合同研究，基金会支持研究以及扩大和多样化我们现有的 NIH 资助的研究项目。我们将通过我们的业务发展官继续发展与私营实体的合作伙伴关系我们的专业知识和研究兴趣使双方受益。我们也将继续发展我们的指导计划，为学员和初级教师提供尽可能最好的体验！
