Owl Monkey research portal that is a national resource providing owl monkeys of known genetic background, tissues, cell lines and biological fluids from owl monkeys, and a registry of normal values and reagents that can be used in studies that utilize owl monkeys. This is the only such resource for owl monkeys available to the NIH extramural grantee community and has expanded the mission of the Keeling Center's Neotropical Primate Breeding and Research Resource (NPBRR) to a second New World monkey genus. This resource helps meet the needs of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) intramural malaria research program. The longer term goal, to create a self-sustaining breeding resource of owl monkeys, is being accomplished by applying expertise that has been developed at the NPBRR for owl monkeys with resource-related research that specifically focuses on reducing adult mortality and improving reproductive efficiency of the owl monkey. This project is helping address the need for resources of alternative primate species to reduce the demand for rhesus monkeys, which are in critically short supply. The OBMRR meets the needs of the biomedical research community in three ways: * It provides a national resource for laboratory-born owl monkeys. The resource provides tissues and biological fluids to investigators throughout the country, thus reducing the need for living animals for these studies. * It has an active research component that continues to add new information about the biology of the owl monkey, with a particular emphasis on reproduction and colony management. * The resource is a source of expertise for owl monkey biology, management and husbandry that can be accessed by anyone anytime.

This colony provides a national resource of rhesus monkeys and their tissues to carry out research benefiting the scientific community. The RMBRR maintains a colony of monkeys that have been derived to be specific pathogen free for members of both the herpes and retrovirus families. Over its history, the RMBRR has developed specialized management techniques, housing facilities and highly trained staff to avail these purposefully bred laboratory models, which are 93% genetically identical to humans, to researchers worldwide. Historically, this animal model has been instrumental in research involving blood classification, polio vaccine development, and drug safety and efficacy while currently they are the preferred model for studying the mechanisms of immunodeficiency diseases. Their susceptibility to Simian Immunodeficiency Virus and their homology to the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class I, II and TCR genes make them valuable in HIV research. They are currently the models of choice for HIV/AIDS vaccine development and study. Other areas of research include atherosclerosis, myocarditis, alcoholism, diabetes, cancer and aging. The overall objectives of this resource are to improve the resources available at the RMBRR and to conduct resource-relevant research that improves both the health of the rhesus colony and its usefulness for studies of human disease. The Resource and Management Core is responsible for providing animal resources, tissues/biological fluids, cell lines, expert advice and research support to NIH extramural and intramural programs, other federal agencies and to private sponsors. The Resource-Related Research Core conducts research to improve the health of the animals maintained with special emphasis on studies that will enhance the usefulness of the rhesus as a model for studies of human disease.

SMBRR maintains the only self-sustaining national research resource of laboratory-born squirrel monkeys, their tissues and other biological materials, as well as the expertise to carry out research on this animal. Scientists with NIH grants utilize squirrel monkeys to study many diseases that threaten human health including Alzheimer's disease and other disorders of the central nervous system, drug addiction, malaria, and viral diseases. Center that carries out research on squirrel monkey biology and its research uses. It meets the needs of the biomedical research community in three ways: providing national resource for laboratory-born squirrel monkeys, having active research component that continues to add new information about the biology of the squirrel monkey with a particular emphasis on reproduction and colony management, and acts as a source of expertise for squirrel monkey biology, management and husbandry.
