Nonhuman Primate Core Pilot Program
To facilitate opportunities for Penn CFAR investigators to utilize the nonhuman primate model of AIDS, our recently funded Nonhuman Primate (NHP) Core includes animals and animal support for Penn CFAR developmental studies. The goal of this program is to allow an investigator to accumulate sufficient data and expertise to apply for an independent NIH grant. Funds are available for the procurement and care of animals, including appropriate animal laboratory studies (collection of body fluids, biopsies, surgeries, necropsies and basic or SIV-specific laboratory studies). This will permit funding for 1 or 2 projects each year, depending on the number of animals requested and the length of the project. Laboratory studies performed at Penn will be the responsibility of the investigator, and there are no funds available for salary support. All Penn CFAR investigators are eligible for these pilot funds.
The 2008 cycle is open, and proposals are due October 31st. Click here to view the current RFA.
