项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks five years of continued support for the P51 Base Grant (OD 011132) for the Yerkes National Primate Research Center of Emory University. The overarching goals of Yerkes are to conduct a research program focused on scientific problems relevant to human health and the NIH mission by providing resource infrastructure and expertise in appropriate scientific and veterinary specialties and to ensure the Center's ability to serve as a resource to Core Scientists, as well as to scientists regionally, nationally and internationally. During the current reporting period (5/1/2011 to present), the Yerkes Center has recorded remarkable progress, as evidenced by numerous (>790) publications, construction of new animal facilities, including a state-of-the-art transplantation ad ABSL3 facility, and progressive expansion of its research funding base, even in the era of an extremely competitive NIH funding environment. In addition, the Yerkes Primate Center has maintained outstanding core research programs and provided resources and services to a broad multidisciplinary network of affiliate and collaborative investigators throughout the region and nation. These research programs, which involve the use of a variety of nonhuman primate species, are directed primarily toward four major research disciplines, representing the research divisions within the Yerkes Center: 1) Microbiology and Immunology; 2) Developmental and Cognitive Neuroscience, 3) Neuropharmacology and Neurologic Diseases and 4) Behavioral Neuroscience and Psychiatric Disorders. Also, through the Divisions of Animal Resources and Pathology, Yerkes provides support for outside investigators conducting research at the Yerkes Center, consistent with our ORIP-mandated role as a regional and national resource. Specific aims for the upcoming period of support include: 1) To carry out basic and translational research using nonhuman primates to expand knowledge, develop improved treatments, and advance cures that will benefit humanity; 2) To provide regional and national resources for data, consultative expertise, biologic materials, and specialized facilities useful in supporting nonhuman primate research; 3) To study basic nonhuman primate biology and improve nonhuman primate breeding, husbandry and genetic characterization to better serve the biomedical research community; and 4) To provide research and training opportunities involving nonhuman primates to graduate and undergraduate students, postdoctoral fellows, visiting scientists and faculty members. The pursuit of these aims will enhance the Center's ability to serve as an enabling resource to Core and Affiliate Scientists for the conduct of nonhuman primate research, all for the ultimate goal of advancing human health.

描述（由应用程序提供）：本申请寻求五年的持续支持（OD 011132）为埃默里大学的Yerkes国家灵长类动物研究中心提供了五年的支持。 Yerkes的总体目标是通过在适当的科学和兽医专业方面提供资源基础架构和专业知识，并确保该研究计划针对与人类健康和NIH任务相关的科学问题的研究计划，并确保中心能够充当核心科学家以及科学家在地区，国内和国际上的资源的能力。在当前的报告期（2011年5月1日至目前）中，Yerkes中心记录了显着的进步，这一点有许多（> 790）出版物，新的动物设施的构建，包括最先进的ABSL3设施，以及在具有极具竞争力的NIH融资环境的时代，包括最先进的移植AD ABSL3设施以及其研究融资基础的逐步扩展。此外，Yerkes灵长类中心还维护了出色的核心研究计划，并为整个地区和国家的会员和合作研究人员的广泛多学科网络提供了资源和服务。这些研究计划涉及多种非人类灵长类动物，主要针对四个主要的研究学科，代表Yerkes中心内的研究部门：1）微生物学和免疫学； 2）发育和认知神经科学，3）神经药理和神经系统疾病以及4）行为神经科学和精神疾病。同样，通过动物资源和病理学的划分，Yerkes为在Yerkes中心进行研究的外部调查人员提供了支持，这与我们作为区域和国家资源的Orip规定的角色一致。即将到来的支持时期的具体目的包括：1）使用非人类灵长类动物进行基本和翻译的研究，以扩大知识，发展改善的治疗方法和进步疗法，从而使人类受益； 2）为数据，咨询专业知识，生物材料和专业设施提供区域和国家资源，可用于支持非人类灵长类动物研究； 3）研究基本的非人类灵长类动物生物学并改善非人类灵长类动物的繁殖，饲养和遗传特征，以更好地为生物医学研究界服务； 4）提供涉及非人类灵长类动物的研究和培训机会，以毕业和本科生，博士后研究员，来访的科学家和教职员工。对这些目标的追求将增强中心作为核心和分支科学家进行非人类灵长类动物研究的促进资源的能力，所有这些都是为了促进人类健康的最终目标。
