DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The purpose of this application is to request funds, supplemented by Tulane University that will be used to improve and modernize electrical infrastructure for animal and research buildings at the Tulane National Primate Research Center (TNPRC). The animal and research buildings at the TNPRC support approximately 35 core and 360 affiliate NIH funded investigators. Since Hurricane Katrina, the Tulane University and the TNPRC have invested in the upgrade of emergency power capacity over the entire campus by adding generator capacity, fuel storage tanks and electrical upgrades to individual animal and research buildings. These upgrades have increased assurance that animal research facilities and facilities supporting these areas will maintain full functionality in the event of a catastrophic power outage. The focus of the proposed project in this application is the improvement of the electrical distribution system on the North Campus of the TNPRC, which will result in redundant electrical power feeds to the North Campus resulting in increased power reliability and safety when compared to the current system. The new power feed will also provide additional power capacity to accommodate the rapid and continuing growth in our research programs into the future.

描述（由申请人提供）： 项目摘要/摘要 本申请的目的是请求资金，由杜兰大学提供补充，该资金将用于改善和现代化杜兰国家灵长类动物研究中心 (TNPRC) 的动物和研究建筑的电力基础设施。 TNPRC 的动物和研究大楼支持大约 35 名核心研究人员和 360 名附属 NIH 资助的研究人员。自卡特里娜飓风以来，杜兰大学和 TNPRC 投资升级了整个校园的应急电力能力，增加了发电机容量、燃料储存罐，并对单个动物和研究建筑进行了电气升级。这些升级增强了动物研究设施和支持这些区域的设施在发生灾难性断电时保持完整功能的保证。本申请中拟议项目的重点是改进 TNPRC 北校区的配电系统，这将为北校区提供冗余供电，从而与当前系统相比提高电力可靠性和安全性。新的电源还将提供额外的电力容量，以适应​​我们未来研究项目的快速持续增长。
