DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a request by the Tulane National Primate Research Center to construct a clinic facility that will support the breeding programs, which have a current census of close to 4,000 nonhuman primates. The rapidly expanding specific pathogen free (SPF) breeding program requires that state of the art facilities be available to support the housing, diagnosis and treatment of animals originating from this and other colonies. The majority of animals used in research programs at TNPRC are derived from the breeding colony. Consideration has been given, during the design phase, to assure that the facility will accommodate the projected growth of the breeding program well into the future. The proposed facility will allow the clinical care and housing of breeding colony animals to occur adjacent to outdoor housing facilities, alleviating the current need to transport animals to housing areas on the main campus. The convenience of a clinical facility constructed adjacent to the breeding colony area will allow more immediately available health care for these animals. Other benefits of the facility would include, provisions for state of the art caging equipment and security, provisions for separation of animals based on viral status and origin in support of the SPF program, provisions for separation of research and breeding colony animals, and for other specialized clinical support such as radiography. In addition to the benefits to the TNPRC breeding program, the proposed facility will support the Washington National Primate Research Center (WaNPRC) breeding colonies, which are housed entirely at the TNPRC. These colonies support the research program of WaNPRC. The proposed construction is a component of a recently developed long-range strategic plan for facilities at the TNPRC.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该提案是杜兰国家灵长类动物研究中心（Tulane National Premimate Research Center）的请求，要建立一个诊所设施，该设施将支持育种计划，该计划目前的人口普查接近4,000名非人类灵长类动物。迅速扩展的特定病原体（SPF）育种计划要求可用的现场设施来支持来自该菌落和其他菌落的动物的住房，诊断和治疗。 TNPRC研究计划中使用的大多数动物来自育种菌落。在设计阶段，已经考虑了考虑，以确保该设施将在未来良好地适应繁殖计划的预计增长。 拟议的设施将允许繁殖菌落动物的临床护理和住房与室外住房设施相邻，从而减轻当前将动物运送到主校园住房区域的需求。建造的临床设施的便利性与繁殖菌落区域相邻，将为这些动物提供更多可用的医疗保健。该设施的其他好处包括，先进的机笼设备和安全性的规定，基于病毒地位和支持SPF计划的动物分离的规定，研究和育种殖民动物的分离和其他专业临床支持（例如X射线照相）的规定。除了对TNPRC育种计划的益处外，该拟议的设施还将支持全部位于TNPRC的华盛顿国家灵长类动物研究中心（WANPRC）繁殖殖民地。这些殖民地支持WANPRC的研究计划。拟议的建筑是TNPRC最近开发的远程战略计划的组成部分。
