DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): This application requests support for construction of a permanent facility for housing and care of NHPs. The facility will be located in a new research building being designed by the UTHSC-H. Investigators at the UTHSC-H hold approximately $10 million (direct costs) of active National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for studies with NHPs, but tropical storm Allison totally destroyed the ACC that housed most of the animals used for their research. Tragically, 78 animals were lost in the Storm. The proposed facility will be on the eighth floor of a new nine story building. The new building will have enclosed connections to the UTHSC-H Medical School Building and to the Institute for Molecular Medicine Building, so that it will support the work of investigators in all three buildings. The proposed facility will contain 5,223 assignable sq. ft. for housing and testing of NHP and will accommodate up to 180 animals. The facility will occupy roughly half of a floor devoted exclusively to animal care activities. The facility will be under the control of the Center for Laboratory Animal Medicine and Care (CLAMC), which manages and operates all animal care and use activities at the UTHSC-H. The CLAMC was initially accredited by AAALAC-international in 1978 and remains fully accredited today. The Director of the CLAMC reports directly to the Executive Vice President for Research of the UTHSC-H.

描述（由申请人提供）：此申请请求支持 建造一个永久性设施，用于 NHP 的住房和护理。这 设施将位于由 UTHSC-H。 UTHSC-H 的调查人员持有约 1000 万美元（直接 国家卫生研究院 (NIH) 积极资助的研究费用） NHP，但热带风暴艾利森完全摧毁了容纳大部分人的 ACC 用于他们研究的动物。不幸的是，78只动物在这次事故中丧生。 风暴。拟议的设施将位于新的九层楼的八楼 建筑。新建筑将与 UTHSC-H 建立封闭连接 医学院大楼和分子医学研究所大楼， 这样它将支持所有三座大楼的调查人员的工作。这 拟议的设施将包含 5,223 平方英尺可分配的住房和 NHP 测试，可容纳多达 180 只动物。该设施将 大约占据了专门用于动物护理活动的楼层的一半。 该设施将由实验动物中心控制 医学和护理 (CLAMC)，管理和运营所有动物护理和使用 UTHSC-H 的活动。 CLAMC 最初被认可为 AAALAC 国际于 1978 年获得认证，至今仍获得充分认可。导演 CLAMC 直接向研究执行副总裁报告 UTHSC-H。
