DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this proposal is to continue support of the infrastructure of the Southwest National Primate Research Center (SNPRC). The SNPRC is located on the campus of the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research, its host institution. The SNPRC maintains over 4,000 nonhuman primates, primarily baboons, macaques, marmosets, and chimpanzees. It maintains large breeding populations of baboons, rhesus macaques, and common marmosets. During the current grant period, the SNPRC provided resources to 290 investigators from 35 states. The base grant is composed of four types of components: Administration, Primate Resources, Veterinary Resources, and Research Resources. The Research Resource components and the research programs that utilize them are divided among four Focus Groups: Infectious Diseases and Biodefense, Chronic Diseases, Development and Aging, and Genomics. The mission of the SNPRC is "To improve the health of our global community through innovative biomedical research with nonhuman primates." Consistent with this mission, the SNPRC is committed to translational research and is a partner in two CTSA applications that are in review. The administration, primate resource, veterinary resource, and research resource infrastructures supported by the base grant enable the SNPRC to be responsive to national biomedical research needs and to accommodate investigators who want to access Center resources for collaborative research purposes. Special, and in some cases unique, strengths of the SNPRC are a wide variety of primate species to meet diverse research needs; the largest pedigreed and genotyped population of nonhuman primates available for genetic research; broad research opportunities with the largest chimpanzee population at any National Primate Research Center; ABSL-3 and ABSL-4 facilities; research emphasis and expertise on gene discovery for common chronic diseases, development of vaccines and drugs for infectious diseases, preventions and treatments of neonatal diseases, and stem cell biology; and service as a national resource for genetic management of nonhuman primates.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案的目的是继续支持西南国家灵长类动物研究中心（SNPRC）的基础设施。 SNPRC位于其东道机构的西南生物医学研究基金会的校园内。 SNPRC维护4,000多个非人类灵长类动物，主要是狒狒，猕猴，桃花心木和黑猩猩。它维持着大量的狒狒，恒河猕猴和常见的棉花糖的繁殖种群。在当前赠款期间，SNPRC为来自35个州的290名调查人员提供了资源。基础赠款由四种类型的组成部分组成：管理，灵长类动物资源，兽医资源和研究资源。利用它们的研究资源组成部分和利用它们的研究计划分为四个焦点组：传染病和生物疾病，慢性疾病，发展和衰老以及基因组学。 SNPRC的使命是“通过与非人类灵长类动物的创新生物医学研究来改善我们全球社区的健康”。与此任务一致，SNPRC致力于转化研究，并且是正在审查的两个CTSA应用程序中的合作伙伴。基本赠款支持的政府，灵长类动物资源，兽医资源和研究资源基础架构使SNPRC能够响应国家生物医学研究需求，并容纳希望访问中心资源以进行协作研究目的的研究人员。特殊的SNPRC的特殊优势是满足各种研究需求的各种灵长类动物；可用于遗传研究的非人类灵长类动物的最大的基因和基因分型人群；任何国家灵长类动物研究中心的黑猩猩人口最大的研究机会； ABSL-3和ABSL-4设施；对常见慢性疾病的基因发现的重点和专业知识，用于传染病的疫苗和药物的开发，新生儿疾病的预防和治疗方法以及干细胞生物学；服务作为非人类灵长类动物遗传管理的国家资源。
