ANIMAL FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM COMPETITION Release Date: March 27, 2000 NOTICE: RR-00-007 National Center for Research Resources This notice is to inform the scientific community that a limited competition is being conducted by the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR). NCRR is requesting competitive applications for support of alteration and renovation and associated equipment from Regional Primate Resource Centers (RPRCs) to increase and upgrade their Biosafety Level (BSL) 2 and 3 facilities. The lack of such facilities, especially BSL3, is the limiting factor in the capability of the RPRCs to host AIDS related research. The need to expand BSL 2 and 3 capacities is critical at the RPRCs in light of the major effort directed to HIV vaccine development. The grant mechanism for these improvement projects is the G20 mechanism. Successful applications will be awarded according to the terms and conditions of the Animal Facilities Improvement Program (AFI) guidelines, available from the NCRR website at http://www.ncrr.nih.gov/resinfra/rinotice/archives.asp. Applicants are directed to program announcement PAR-99-066. The application deadline is May 10, 2000. For further information contact: W. Fred Taylor, Ph.D. Research Infrastructure National Center for Research Resources 6705 Rockledge Drive, Suite 6030 Bethesda, MD 20892 (301)435-0766
