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（根据申请人的摘要改编）：PSIC提供 有效共享实验室灵长类动物所需的沟通机制 由美国的研究调查员和机构。 目标是帮助 减少研究所需的灵长类动物总数，尤其是进口 灵长类动物，通过最大限度地利用存在的灵长类动物资源。 PSIC的 服务包括：1）新列表，两次每月新闻通讯列表当前 灵长类动物，组织，尸体，设备和可用性的需求和可用性 服务； 2）持续列表，这是一个每两个月的新闻通讯 需要长期或持续的灵长类动物需求或可用性做广告； 3） 年度资源指南（ARG），年度出版物，列出订阅 灵长类动物，实验室设备供应商和商业的供应商 运输和隔离设施等服务； 4）推荐 立即匹配电话，传真，电子邮件或 信函请求在PSIC的计算机数据库中打开列表； 5） 包括程序信息的互联网网站，当前ARG，清单 灵长类动物分类法，并链接到灵长类动物的其他景点 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，动物公园， 和繁殖菌落。 有效地共享实验室灵长类动物会导致 为研究社区节省大量成本。 仅1998年的数字 表明通过该的1,882猕猴的值 票房，基于研究幼稚的平均价格 1998年提供的猕猴为1,750美元，为330万美元。 PSIC程序 为研究社区节省大量直接成本。 这 PSIC的总体目标是帮助最大化灵长类动物的使用 资源，并减少研究人员所需的时间和精力 或更换动物和组织。 这样的好处和必要性 保护工作每天都在增加。
