This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. With the characterization of the chimpanzee genome, there has been an increased interest in this species as a research model. This, along with continued Yerkes support of research for which the species is uniquely suitable, has lead to the need for careful monitoring and management of animal assignments, a process that is now underway. Given that most of our animals are housed socially, considerable effort continues to be invested in contraception to prevent pregnancies. IUDs are the primary method of choice, with females unsuitable for IUD insertion receiving hormonal interventions for contraception. Continued improvements to chimpanzee living arrangements have included resurfacing living environs and providing additional interconnecting doors to facilitate not only social housing but husbandry and management. Positive reinforcement training continues to be a high priority, including providing support to and working with Yerkes Neuroscience personnel. The Center also has established a dedicated cognitive testing facility. The overall project goal is to maintain and study a opulation of chimpanzees and to ensure availability of this species to appropriate NIH funded investigators.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 随着黑猩猩基因组的表征，人们对该物种作为研究模型的兴趣日益浓厚。 再加上耶基斯对该物种独特适合的研究的持续支持，导致需要仔细监测和管理动物分配，这一过程目前正在进行中。 鉴于我们大多数动物都是社会饲养的，因此我们继续在避孕方面投入大量精力以防止怀孕。宫内节育器是主要选择方法，不适合放置宫内节育器的女性需要接受激素干预来避孕。 对黑猩猩生活安排的持续改进包括重新装修生活环境和提供额外的互连门，不仅有利于社会住房，而且有利于饲养和管理。 积极强化训练仍然是重中之重，包括为 Yerkes Neuroscience 人员提供支持并与之合作。 该中心还建立了专门的认知测试设施。项目的总体目标是维持和研究黑猩猩的种群，并确保 NIH 资助的适当研究人员能够获得该物种。
