## Abstract

CORE B PROJECT SUMMARY
The Core B (Animal Model Core) for the MCW P01 program project grant, entitled “Renal Mechanisms in Blood
Pressure Control”, will support program project investigators with comprehensive management of several novel
genetically engineered rat models. The need for Core B is apparent considering current heavy use of rat models
and the numbers of animals proposed. Throughout the history of the PPG, Core B has provided a centralized
approach to managing rat models to achieve the proposed studies. The overall goal of Core B is to assist
program project investigators with the development, management, genotyping, distribution, and molecular
characterization of the models. Multiple approaches will be available to develop new models as needed by the
Project investigators. Core B will serve as an invaluable resource for the project investigators to define the novel
mechanisms that lead to the control of blood pressure and kidney diseases. Core staff will also assist in
experimental design and training of the laboratory staff, and participate in data collection, analysis, and
preparation for publication.
