DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the applicant's abstract): The PSIC provides the communication mechanisms needed for efficient sharing of laboratory primates by research investigators and institutions in the US. The goal is to help reduce the total number of primates needed for research, especially imported primates, by maximizing the use of existent primate resources. The PSIC's services include: 1) New Listings, a twice monthly newsletter listing current needs for and availability of primates, tissues, cadavers, equipment, and services; 2) Continuing Listings, a bi-monthly newsletter for those programs needing to advertise long term or continuing primate needs or availability; 3) Annual Resources Guide (ARG), an annual publication which lists subscribing suppliers of primates, laboratories equipment suppliers, and commercial services such as transportation and quarantine facilities; 4) referral services which immediately match telephone, facsimile, electronic mail or letter requests to open listing in the PSIC's computer database; and 5) an internet website that includes program information, the current ARG, a listing of primate taxonomy, and links to other sites of interest to the primate research community. The PSIC services research laboratories, research institutions, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, zoological parks, and breeding colonies. Efficient sharing of laboratory primates results in significant cost savings to the research community. Figures for 1998 alone indicate that the value of the 1,882 macaques placed through the Clearinghouse, based on the average price for a research naive, commercially supplied macaque being $1,750 in 1998, was $3.3 million. The PSIC program results in significant direct cost savings to the research community. The overall objective of the PSIC is to help maximize the use of primate resources, and to reduce the time and effort required by researchers to locate or replace animals and tissues. The benefit and necessity of such conservation efforts are increasing daily.

描述（改编自申请人的摘要）：PSIC 提供 有效共享实验室灵长类动物所需的通信机制 由美国的研究人员和机构进行。 目标是帮助 减少研究所需灵长类动物的总数，尤其是进口的 灵长类动物，通过最大限度地利用现有的灵长类动物资源。 PSIC 的 服务包括： 1) 新列表，每月两次的时事通讯列表当前 灵长类动物、组织、尸体、设备和设备的需求和可用性 服务； 2) Continuing Listings，这些项目的双月刊通讯 需要宣传长期或持续的灵长类动物需求或可用性； 3） 年度资源指南 (ARG)，列出订阅者的年度出版物 灵长类动物供应商、实验室设备供应商和商业 运输和检疫设施等服务； 4）转介 立即匹配电话、传真、电子邮件或 请求在 PSIC 的计算机数据库中开放列表的信函； 5) 一个 包含节目信息、当前 ARG、列表的互联网网站 灵长类动物分类学，以及灵长类动物感兴趣的其他网站的链接 研究社区。 PSIC 服务研究实验室、研究 机构、生物技术和制药公司、动物园、 和繁殖群体。 实验室灵长类动物的有效共享导致 为研究界节省大量成本。 仅 1998 年的数字 表明通过放置的 1,882 只猕猴的价值 票据交换所，基于研究天真的商业平均价格 1998 年猕猴供应量为 1,750 美元，现在为 330 万美元。 PSIC计划 为研究界带来显着的直接成本节省。 这 PSIC 的总体目标是帮助最大限度地利用灵长类动物 资源，并减少研究人员查找所需的时间和精力 或更换动物和组织。 这样做的好处和必要性 保护工作与日俱增。
