DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested to equip animal research space in the University of California Davis Genome and Biomedical Sciences Facility (GBSF). The addition of fixed cage racks will transform this space into a stateof- the-art rodent barrier facility to serve all of campus and will provide critical facilities needed to underpin our internationally respected Mouse Biology Program. Completion of this project will allow us to fulfill our longterm objective to use rodents as a platform to attack critical questions in biomedical sciences in multiple research programs. As a recipient of a "Center of Excellence in Nutritional Genomics" and, therefore, a designated institution of emerging excellence, these funds will accelerate our growth in research in genomics in the broadest sense of the word. With its modern animal research space, the GBSF will allow us to combine forces of researchers in basic genomics and proteomics, molecular medicine, biomedical engineering, bioinformatics, and biostatistics. These cross-disciplinary programs will bring together established investigators, new investigators, research fellows and visiting scientists who use rodents as animal models in a centrally located research.

描述（由申请人提供）：需要资金来装备加州大学戴维斯分校基因组和生物医学科学设施（GBSF）的动物研究空间。添加固定笼架将把这个空间变成最先进的啮齿动物屏障设施，为整个校园提供服务，并将提供支持我们国际知名的小鼠生物学计划所需的关键设施。该项目的完成将使我们能够实现我们的长期目标，即利用啮齿动物作为平台来解决多个研究项目中生物医学科学的关键问题。作为“营养基因组学卓越中心”的接受者，因此，作为指定的新兴卓越机构，这些资金将加速我们在最广泛意义上的基因组学研究的发展。凭借其现代动物研究空间，GBSF 将使我们能够结合基础基因组学和蛋白质组学、分子医学、生物医学工程、生物信息学和生物统计学方面的研究人员的力量。这些跨学科项目将汇集现有的研究人员、新的研究人员、研究员和访问科学家，他们在中心研究中使用啮齿类动物作为动物模型。
