B. Future Requirements 
Presented below are preliminary estimates of additional resources required 
to implement this plan. These estimates include only those resources 
which are necessary to begin new initiatives or expand current programs 
to recommended levels. (Administrative support of the IPSC, while not a 
new Initiative, is also Included.) 
While this plan calls for the continuation of many previously initiated 
programs, resources required to carry these programs forward are not 
presented. It is assumed that these costs will be addressed by the 
sponsor operating the program when additional funding becomes necessary. 
Ensuring the Most Effective Use of Primates 
* Recommendations presented within this section of the plan address 
procedural and managerial aspects of sponsor's activities. Any 
additional expense incurred as a result of these recommendations 
is expected to be offset by a reduction in the need for additional 
primates. 
* Funding of a contract for the operation of a primate users' 
service has been provided by the NIH through 1979. Additional 
support will be required to expand the service after this date. 
* Staff support for the IPSC must be increased in order for it to 
effectively provide the necessary assistance to sponsors in^this 
area and to coordinate the entire National Primate Program. 
Production of Primates in the United States 
* This plan calls for the expansion of the current domestic primates 
breeding program by increasing the number of general-purpose colonies. 
The enlargement of some of the existing colonies and the establish¬ 
ment of a number of additional colonies are recommended. It is 
anticipated that $4.12 million will be required over 2 years to 
establish these colonies. Approximately $4.86 million will be 
required to maintain these colonies each year thereafter. 
Appendix E contains a comprehensive list of responsibilities assigned 
to the IPSC as recommended within this plan.
