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.

This site is designed for researchers and students who want a quick way to generate random numbers or assign participants to experimental conditions. Research Randomizer can be used in a wide variety of situations, including psychology experiments, medical trials, and survey research. The program uses a JavaScript random number generator to produce customized sets of random numbers. Since its release in 1997, Research Randomizer has been used to generate number sets over 10.7 million times. This service is part of Social Psychology Network and is fast, free, and runs with any recent web browser as long as JavaScript isn''t disabled. Research Randomizer is a free service offered to students and researchers interested in conducting random assignment and random sampling. By using this service, you agree to abide by the SPN User Policy and to hold Research Randomizer and its staff harmless in the event that you experience a problem with the program or its results. Although every effort has been made to develop a useful means of generating random numbers, Research Randomizer and its staff do not guarantee the quality or randomness of numbers generated. Any use to which these numbers are put remains the sole responsibility of the user who generated them. What are the system requirements needed to run Research Randomizer? This program works best with Firefox and other recent web browsers. If you''re using a browser that came with America Online, or older browsers made prior to 2003, you may experience some difficulties with Research Randomizer. You may also not be able to use Research Randomizer with some limited-function browsers that do not fully support JavaScript, such as the Opera broswer used on certain game consoles. We would suggest that you update to a fairly recent, fully- functional stand-alone browser. How do I know what browser I am using? The easiest way to find this out is to click Help on the pulldown menu at the top of the screen. One of the options should be About Mozilla Firefox, About Internet Explorer, About Netscape, or something similar. Selecting this option will open a window that displays the name, version number, and copyright date of your browser. How does Research Randomizer generate its numbers? Research Randomizer uses the Math.random method within the JavaScript programming language to generate its random numbers for all modern web browsers. If you are using an older version of Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator (that is prior to version 4.0 of either), Research Randomizer uses an adaptation of the Central Randomizer by Paul Houle. Note that Research Randomizer no longer supports much-older browsers by other vendors (e.g., Mosaic). Who designed Research Randomizer? The original idea and programming for Research Randomizer came from Geoffrey C. Urbaniak in 1997. Research Randomizer was then jointly developed with Scott Plous, webmaster of Social Psychology Network, and online tutorials were added to the main program. In 1999 the site was redesigned with the assistance of Mike Lestik, in 2003 Mike Lestik added the download function, and in 2007 Mike Lestik and Scott Plous redesigned the site and added new content.

The Tropical Disease Initiative aims to provide a kernel for open source drug discovery. Such kernel should allow scientists from laboratories, universities, institutes, and corporations to work together for a common cause: find new drugs against tropical disieases such as Malaria or Tuberculosis. Computation plays an increasing role in biology. The convergence between computing and biology suggests that open source methods can be used to organize early phase drug discovery. We argue that a new approach, which we call open source drug discovery, would significantly reduce the cost of discovering, developing and manufacturing cures for tropical diseases. First, it would give hundreds of scientists a practical way to donate urgently needed manpower. Second, open source discoveries would not be patented, permitting sponsors to award development contracts to the company that offered the lowest bid. Finally, competition from generic drug makers would keep manufacturing prices at or near the cost of production, significantly accelerating drug development for the 500 million people who currently suffer from tropical diseases.
