Note: Exceptional animals requiring specialized
training for animal care or substantial infectious disease risk to ARW staff
will be entirely the responsibility of the investigator (who must be qualified
and approved by ARW administration and the IACUC to provide that care) and per
diem will be adjusted accordingly, but housing charges will remain the same.
Facility charges
All animal-housing rooms will carry
a monthly use fee except designated common small animal housing rooms as
explained below.
One room each shall be
designated for common housing of rats, mice and rabbits. You may house your animals of appropriate
species in those rooms without additional housing charges if: 1) your animals come SPF and remain so throughout their stay; 2) receive no
live organisms; 3) require only routine care.
You may not house your animals in the common room if they,
or the experimental design imposes any endangerment or stress to other animals
or investigators. Experiments whose end
point includes the probability of death or disability are excluded from the
common rooms, as are experiments calculated to cause tumors and other obvious
disfigurement to the animals. Ascites
production and vaccination animals are not excluded if the animals are
removed well before they exhibit signs of stress.
Monthly room charges for
animal housing:
In addition to per diem charges as
given above, charges will be levied for use of animal care rooms. These charges are levied to offset costs of
labor for cleaning rooms and the building, and providing a modest fund for
purchase and replacement of essential equipment. Charges will be prorated based on actual time
of occupancy, with the minimal charge being that equal to 10 days stay.

There
will be no charge for use of examination room, necropsy, or infectious disease
lab. However, a clean-up fee will be
assessed if the facility is not thoroughly cleaned up by the user. The relatively modest fee for the surgery
suite assumes that the investigator will clean up after him/herself. Disinfection of the room will be the
responsibility of the building staff.

to transport a carcass to ADR for disposal, whether to contain the carcass or

charge. Such labor is to include, but is
not limited to, dismembering or cutting to smaller size, autoclaving or other
decontamination measures and extensive bagging.
These costs will be in addition to any incineration or render charges.
