DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Matching funds are requested to renovate 22,500 GSFof floor space on the Howard Hall sixth floor to expand and improve the centralized laboratory animal resources at the School of Medicine, University of Maryland, Baltimore. This new state-of-the-art animal resource will feature a component that is currently lacking. This component is a fully functional Animal Biosafety Level 3 containment facility dedicated to supporting the School of Medicine's internationally recognized programs of extraordinary national importance including programs in both emerging pathogens, bioterrorism and biodefense. This includes NIH-supported studies by the Division of Infectious Diseases, the Department of Epidemiology, the Center for Vaccine Development, the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, and the Department of Medicine's Division of Geographic Medicine, as well as the new Emerging Pathogens Research Center. The objectives of this project are to augment, enhance, and modernize the existing laboratory animal resources and to provide appropriate facilities to meet the conventional and specialized research needs of the faculty. Specific aims are: to address the pressing need of additional animal and support space, and to keep pace with an expanding animal census along with increased PHS- and non-PHS funding involving the use of laboratory animals to provide the highly specialized biohazard containment resources and support space required to meet active and pending research projects involving biohazard agents in animals and to provide centralized resources for housing and characterizing genetically altered and immuno-compromised rodents, as well as conventional space for non-human primate quarantine and other species.

描述（由申请人提供）： 要求匹配的资金在霍华德大厅六楼翻新22,500 GSFOF地板空间，以扩大和改善巴尔的摩马里兰州大学医学院的集中实验室动物资源。 这种新的最先进的动物资源将具有目前缺乏的组成部分。 该组成部分是一个功能齐全的动物生物安全3级遏制设施，致力于支持医学院国际公认的非凡民族重要性计划，包括新兴病原体，生物恐怖主义和生物恐惧症的计划。 这包括传染病科，流行病学系，疫苗开发中心，微生物学和免疫学系，医学部地理医学部以及新的新兴病原体研究中心的研究。 该项目的目标是增加现有的实验室动物资源，并提供适当的设施，以满足教师的传统和专业研究需求。 具体目的是：解决额外动物和支持空间的紧迫性，并与不断扩大的动物人口普查以及增加的PHS和非phs资金以及涉及使用实验室动物的资金以及提供实验动物的资金，以提供高度专业化的生物危害的空间，并提供支持的空间，以实现涉及动物和涉及的涉及的生物范围的活跃研究和未决的研究项目所需的领域，以实现危险，从而提供涉及的生物剂量，以适应​​依赖的基于基础和特征的房地产，并进行了体现，并有特征性地进行住房和特征。以及非人类灵长类动物和其他物种的常规空间。
