DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of the OUHSC Baboon Research Resource is to provide resources that support biomedical and behavioral research requiring the baboon as the animal model. A vital part of this mission is the production of Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) baboons. Unique in the world, the OUHSC SPF baboon program is poised to provide an indispensable nonhuman primate resource for biomedical research. The goal of this program is to complete development of an active, self-supporting breeding colony of baboons that are free of all five known baboon herpes viruses, four retroviruses, as well as a number of additional viruses and parasites. The developing program is already providing some SPF baboons to NIH-funded biomedical research programs, but cannot meet the demand for these unique animals. To complete development of this national resource we will recruit an additional 150 infants over five years into the SPF program. The genetic diversity of the colony will be assessed and monitored to maximize its genetic diversity. During this final phase of colony development, we will continue to provide 20-30 SPF baboons per year to NIH-funded research programs. To keep the colony outbred genetic testing will be performed and evaluated. Several research projects will also be supported by this program with the aim of improving the resource. The long term objective is for the SPF baboon colony to be a stable, self-sustaining breeding colony that produces ~100 SPF baboons/year for use in NIH-funded biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：OUHSC 狒狒研究资源的使命是提供资源，支持需要狒狒作为动物模型的生物医学和行为研究。这一使命的一个重要部分是生产无特定病原体（SPF）狒狒。 OUHSC SPF 狒狒项目在世界上独一无二，有望为生物医学研究提供不可或缺的非人类灵长类动物资源。该计划的目标是完成一个活跃的、自给自足的狒狒繁殖群体的开发，该群体不含所有五种已知的狒狒疱疹病毒、四种逆转录病毒以及许多其他病毒和寄生虫。该开发项目已经向 NIH 资助的生物医学研究项目提供了一些 SPF 狒狒，但无法满足对这些独特动物的需求。为了完成这一国家资源的开发，我们将在五年内另外招募 150 名婴儿加入 SPF 计划。将评估和监测群体的遗传多样性，以最大限度地提高其遗传多样性。在群体发展的最后阶段，我们将继续每年向 NIH 资助的研究项目提供 20-30 只 SPF 狒狒。为了保持群体近亲繁殖，将进行基因测试和评估。该计划还将支持一些研究项目，旨在改善资源。长期目标是使 SPF 狒狒群体成为一个稳定、自我维持的繁殖群体，每年生产约 100 只 SPF 狒狒，用于 NIH 资助的生物医学研究。
