## Abstract

WASHINGTON NATIONAL PRIMATE RESEARCH CENTER
 OVERALL SECTION
 PROJECT SUMMARY
This grant requests 5 years of funding support for continuing operation of the Washington National Primate
Research Center at the University of Washington. The goal of work described in this grant proposal is to
provide support for a broad-based research and resources program, providing biomedical scientists the
opportunity to conduct research using nonhuman primate (NHP) models for human health-related and NHP
biologic issues. This goal will be attained through support for scientific intellectual resources, administration,
animal support resources, facilities, and operations. Support is requested for translational and pre-clinical
resource support in AIDS-related research, Neuroscience, Functional Genomics, Developmental and
Reproductive Biology, and International Programs (Research Cores). New research resource initiatives will
develop novel NHP models as well as expand related research resources, including additional new core
scientists. Support for research resource related studies is requested to provide new, innovative research
directions and better characterization of the NHP resource. The WaNPRC will focus on effective, efficient
access to Center research resources, with particular emphasis placed on support for affiliate research
activities. This proposal also includes support for a broad program of animal care and technical support for
breeding, housing, and research activities (Division of Primate Resources). Administrative support is also
requested to provide appropriate management of Center finances and operations, focusing on improved
efficiency and effective support for research activities. Support is requested for WaNPRC domestic breeding
colonies of M. nemestrina. All primates housed in WaNPRC facilities are housed and cared for under
conditions that meet or exceed NIH standards as stated in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory
Animals, Institute for Laboratory Animal Resources (ILAR) recommendations, and the Association for
Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care, International (AAALAC) accreditation standards for
NHPs.
