- Description
- Development and Maintenance of a Multigenotypic Aged Rat Colony Development and Maintenance of a Multigenotypic Aged Rat Colony BACKGROUND Current and projected experiments using rodents to model the aging processes and age-related diseases in humans require animals of defined genotype and controlled environmental and health status. Only with the meticulous, long-term control of genetic and environmental variables is it possible to maintain relevant animal models that may be used to study many of the biological and behavioral processes in aging. Therefore, a continuous supply of genetically defined, well characterized inbred and hybrid laboratory animals is essential for a program of research on aging. In 2004, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a 9-year contract for the development and maintenance of a colony of aged F344 rats, and in 2005, NIA awarded a 9-year contract for the development and maintenance of a colony of aged Brown Norway (BN) and F344xBN F1 hybrid rats. The F344 contract was subsequently extended one year. The Statement of Work for those contracts, HHSN260200400008C and HHSN260200500006C, stated that another 9-year contract for continuation of each project would be awarded at the start of the seventh year of that contract. This RFP is for development of a new contract that will cover all three strains of rats, F344, BN, and F344xBN F1.
