Please note, most per diem rates are charged per cage (e.g. mice conventional and microisolator) and other rates are chaged per animal (rabbit). Estimated rates are provided for budgeting purposes only and subject to change depending on annual Fiscal Oversight Committee (FOC) recommendations and approval by the Vice Provost for Research. LAR will continue to look for methods to contain costs while adding to the value of services provided to our customers.
Rates may vary from year to year as expenses and the number of animals varies. When planning for projects that will extend beyond June 30, 2021, investigators may wish to apply an inflationary increase. Typical inflationary estimates are 6-8%. Feel free to consult with LAR when planning for animal care costs. We are happy to help you in any way we can!
Costs for additional services are billed separately. Usually based on length of time needed to complete the service when it is provided. "Hourly Rates" are listed on a per hour basis with a minimum of 1/4 hour charged as provided during "Normal Business Hours", "Weekend and Non-Premium Holidays" and "Premium Holidays" (Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, etc.).
