DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a request by the Southwest National Primate Research Center (SNPRC) to purchase nonhuman primate caging. Growth of NIH-funded research programs over the past several years has created an increased demand for housing space for nonhuman primates assigned to research studies. In order to reduce delays in starting NIH-funded studies, the SNPRC proposes to acquire additional caging to satisfy this demand. The proposed cages, consisting of twenty-six (26) two-over-two units suitable for housing macaques and twenty-one (21) individual 15 sq. ft. cages for monkeys greater than 30 kg in weight, will be located in existing animal facilities that do not currently have sufficient caging available. Acquisition of the caging will support our overall biomedical research mission by allowing greater utilization of the nonhuman primate colonies.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是西南国家灵长类研究中心（SNPRC）购买非人灵长类笼养设施的请求。过去几年，美国国立卫生研究院资助的研究项目不断增长，对用于研究的非人类灵长类动物的住房空间的需求不断增加。为了减少 NIH 资助的研究启动的延误，SNPRC 提议购买额外的笼具来满足这一需求。拟议的笼子由二十六 (26) 个适合饲养猕猴的二二单元和二十一 (21) 个单独的 15 平方英尺笼子组成，用于饲养体重超过 30 公斤的猴子，将位于现有的目前没有足够笼养的动物设施。获得笼子将有助于我们更好地利用非人类灵长类动物群体，从而支持我们的整体生物医学研究任务。
