Animal Care Program (ACP) Per Diem Rate Changes - 2019

Over the past academic year, the Office of Research Affairs, Health
Sciences, Academic Affairs, the Animal Care Program, along with the
faculty-led Animal Program Oversight Committee have developed an updated
per diem rate schedule that incorporates the rising costs of salaries,
benefits, and supplies.

Effective July 1, 2019 all animal research proposal submissions must use
the new per diem schedule. Currently funded projects will also be
charged in accordance with the new rate structure effective July 1,
2019. Rate adjustments will be re-evaluated annually, with new rates
effective on July 1 each subsequent year. Annual rate increases of a
minimum of 3% should be taken into account for grant-planning purposes
and budgeted accordingly.

This new rate schedule can be found here:
