DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests support for the construction of a new satellite animal care facility that will facilitate biomedical research and training. The facility will be located in New York City at the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI), a non-federal institution that focuses on clinical and basic research related to a broad spectrum of mental disorders. The proposed facility will provide animal housing and testing space for researchers recently relocated to NYSPI's newest building. In combination with the space freed in the central facility, the new site will yield additional room for the rapid expansion of mouse and primate studies. It will be constructed in 3300 square feet of existing shell space in the Institute's main building. Approximately one third will be dedicated to housing, one third for testing and surgery, and one third for food, bedding, and cage storage, plus common corridors. The facility will be divided into a rat section and a mouse section, each having surgical and general procedure areas, several test rooms, two to three housing rooms, and some rooms of flexible design that can be shifted between testing and housing. Animal husbandry will be minimized by using high-density ventilated cages, an automated watering system, and a vacuum bedding removal system. Dirty racks and cages will be transported through dedicated service hallways and elevators to the Institute's central animal care facility in an adjacent building for cleaning. The design will meet all NIH guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals and health and safety regulations for staff.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该提案要求支持建设新的卫星动物护理设施，以促进生物医学研究和培训。该设施将位于纽约市纽约州精神病学研究所（NYSPI），这是一个非联邦机构，侧重于与广泛精神障碍有关的临床和基础研究。拟议的设施将为最近搬迁到NYSPI最新建筑物的研究人员提供动物住房和测试空间。结合中央设施中释放的空间，新地点将为小鼠和灵长类动物研究的快速扩张提供更多空间。它将在该研究所的主建筑中的3300平方英尺的现有外壳空间中建造。大约三分之一将用于住房，三分之一用于测试和手术，三分之一用于食物，床上用品和笼子储存，以及常见的走廊。该设施将分为大鼠部分和一个鼠标部分，每个区域都有外科手术和一般的程序区域，几个测试室，两到三个住房室以及一些灵活设计室，可以在测试和住房之间进行转移。使用高密度通风笼，自动浇水系统和真空床上用品去皮系统，将最小化畜牧业。肮脏的架子和笼子将通过专用的服务走廊和电梯运输到该研究所的中央动物护理设施中，以进行清洁。该设计将符合NIH的所有指南，涉及实验室动物的护理和使用以及员工的健康与安全法规。
