DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Vital biomedical research and integrity of scientific data depend on excellent animal care. The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Animal Care and Use Program is committed to the long-term goals of providing and maintaining consistently high quality, healthy animals according to accepted standards at reasonable cost while providing a safe and healthy workplace for personnel with minimal impact on the environment. The equipment requested, 20 exhaust ventilated caging systems (EVCS), 7 ventilated animal transfer stations (VATS) and 3 biological safety cabinets (BSCs) will assist in attaining these long term goals and the specific aims of this proposal. The equipment proposed in this application will benefit UAB Cancer Center members located in Wallace Tumor Institute who use mice (18 investigators, 7 departments, ~1700 cages of rodents currently housed in other buildings). It will also benefit 21 Cancer Center members who use the small animal imaging core facility. The requested equipment will contribute to the completion of 93 active ($18.5M) and 63 pending ($75.4M) projects. The requested equipment will be a part of the infrastructure needed to maintain and support the growth of a nationally and internationally recognized interdisciplinary research program.

描述（由申请人提供）：重要的生物医学研究和科学数据的完整性取决于出色的动物护理。阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校 (UAB) 动物护理和使用计划致力于实现长期目标，即按照公认的标准以合理的成本提供和维持始终如一的高质量、健康的动物，同时为人员提供一个安全、健康的工作场所对环境的影响。所需的设备包括 20 个排气通风笼养系统 (EVCS)、7 个通风动物转运站 (VATS) 和 3 个生物安全柜 (BSC)，将有助于实现这些长期目标和本提案的具体目标。本申请中提出的设备将使位于华莱士肿瘤研究所的 UAB 癌症中心成员受益，他们使用小鼠（18 名研究人员、7 个部门、约 1700 个啮齿动物笼子，目前安置在其他建筑物中）。它还将使使用小动物成像核心设施的 21 名癌症中心成员受益。所请求的设备将有助于完成 93 个正在进行的项目（1,850 万美元）和 63 个待定项目（7,540 万美元）。所需的设备将成为维持和支持国内和国际认可的跨学科研究计划发展所需的基础设施的一部分。
