This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.Two key aspects of the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, i.e. the diversity of research activities and the availability of a large number of chimpanzees, positioned us to become world leaders in chimpanzee-related research. This proposal funded the development of a new testing facility for assessing cognitive function in chimpanzees. The testing facility has been completed and chimpanzees are currently being routinely tested in the facility. This proposal has also funded an international conference at the Yerkes Research Center. Approximately 60 world-renowned experts in nonhuman primate research from across the U.S., Europe and Japan attended, together with about 25 researchers from institutions throughout Georgia. The conference included platform presentations focused on chimpanzee research as well as advisory discussions with respect to future ideas and proposals for chimpanzee research.
