DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Florida requests $4M to assist in the construction of a $22.7M, 62,975-gsf animal acility annex to the J. Hillis Miller Health Center Communicore Animal Facility (CAF), the largest animal facility on campus. The CAF is currently used by over 117 Investigators. Of these, 72 investigators with $19.5M active NIH funding will use the Annex to house their research animals (mice and rats). Recognizing that the CAF was in major need of renovations to correct HVAC deficiencies, outdated design, and other deficiencies a decision was made with input from faculty and administration to add an Annex onto the existing facility. The addition of the Annex is part of the University's Strategic Plan for improving animal facilities over the next 10 years. After completion of the Annex, there would be sufficient space to house all rodents in the Annex, permitting us to renovate the existing CAF. Thus, all 81 investigators with active NIH funding ($21,964,799) will benefit from the proposed project. There will be support space in the CAF, such as loading dock, fee/bedding storage, quarantine, diagnostic laboratory, etc. to support the housing and care of the animal in the Annex. Over the past 2 years, the University has spent over $6M dollars in improvements to its existing animal care and use program. We propose a 1:1 match on support for this project until $8M has been spent, at that point the University will provide sufficient funds to complete the Annex project.

描述（由申请人提供）： 佛罗里达大学要求400万美元，以协助建造2270万美元，62,975-GSF动物的活性附件，即J. Hillis Miller Health Center Communer Center Communica Animal Antimal（CAF），这是校园上最大的动物设施。 CAF目前由117多名调查员使用。其中，有72名拥有1950万美元活跃NIH资金的调查员将使用该附件容纳其研究动物（小鼠和大鼠）。认识到CAF的重大装修需要纠正HVAC缺陷，过时的设计和其他缺陷，从教职员工和政府的意见下做出了决定，将附件添加到现有设施中。附件的增加是该大学在未来10年内改善动物设施的战略计划的一部分。附件完成后，将有足够的空间容纳附件中的所有啮齿动物，从而使我们可以翻新现有的CAF。 因此，所有有活跃资金的81名调查员（21,964,799美元）将从拟议的项目中受益。 CAF中将有支持空间，例如装载码头，费用/床上用品存储，隔离，诊断实验室等，以支持附件中动物的住房和护理。在过去的两年中，该大学花费了超过600万美元的改进，以改善其现有动物护理和使用计划。我们建议对该项目的支持进行1：1的比赛，直到花费800万美元为止，那时，大学将提供足够的资金来完成附件项目。
