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要求建造一个诊所设施来支持育种计划，目前该计划已对近 4,000 只非人类灵长类动物进行了普查。迅速扩大的无特定病原体（SPF）育种计划需要最先进的设施来支持来自该群体和其他群体的动物的饲养、诊断和治疗。 TNPRC 研究项目中使用的大部分动物都来自繁殖群体。在设计阶段已考虑到确保该设施能够适应未来育种计划的预计增长。 拟议的设施将允许繁殖群体动物的临床护理和饲养在室外饲养设施附近进行，从而减轻目前将动物运送到主校区饲养区的需要。在繁殖区附近建造的临床设施的便利性将为这些动物提供更即时的医疗保健。该设施的其他好处包括提供最先进的笼养设备和安全性、根据病毒状态和来源分离动物以支持 SPF 计划、分离研究和繁殖群体动物以及其他专门的临床支持，例如放射线照相。除了给 TNPRC 育种计划带来好处外，拟议的设施还将支持华盛顿国家灵长类动物研究中心 (WaNPRC) 育种群，该中心完全位于 TNPRC 内。这些殖民地支持 WaNPRC 的研究计划。拟议的建设是最近制定的 TNPRC 设施长期战略计划的一部分。
