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（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求埃默里大学耶基斯国家灵长类研究中心的 P51 基础拨款（OD 011132）持续五年的支持。耶基斯的总体目标是开展专注于科学问题的研究计划。通过提供适当的科学和兽医专业的资源基础设施和专业知识，与人类健康和 NIH 使命相关，并确保中心有能力为核心科学家以及区域、国家和国际科学家提供资源在当前报告期内（2011 年 5 月 1 日至今），耶基斯中心取得了显着的进展，这一点有许多证据（ > 790）出版物，建设新的动物设施，包括最先进的移植和 ABSL3 设施，并逐步扩大其研究经费基础，即使在 NIH 资助环境竞争极其激烈的时代。耶基斯灵长类动物中心一直保持着出色的核心研究项目，并为整个地区和国家的附属和合作研究人员的广泛的多学科网络提供资源和服务。这些研究项目涉及使用各种非人类灵长类动物物种。四个主要研究学科，代表耶基斯中心的研究部门：1) 微生物学和免疫学；2) 发育和认知神经科学；3) 神经药理学和神经系统疾病；4) 行为学神经科学和精神疾病。此外，Yerkes 通过动物资源和病理学部门为在 Yerkes 中心进行研究的外部研究人员提供支持，这符合我们作为区域和国家资源的 ORIP 规定的角色。支持包括： 1) 利用非人类灵长类动物开展基础和转化研究，以扩展知识、开发改进的治疗方法并推进造福人类的治疗方法； 2) 提供区域和国家数据、咨询专业知识、生物学资源；用于支持非人类灵长类动物研究的材料和专门设施； 3) 研究非人类灵长类动物的基本生物学并改进非人类灵长类动物的育种、饲养和遗传特征，以更好地服务于生物医学研究界；以及 4) 提供涉及非人类灵长类动物的研究和培训机会；面向研究生和本科生、博士后研究员、访问科学家和教职人员追求这些目标将增强该中心作为核心科学家和附属科学家进行非人类灵长类动物研究的有利资源的能力。以促进人类健康为最终目标。
