ARF Per Diem
Rates
The Animal Resource Facility (ARF) is obligated to recover the costs
associated with the procurement, care and support of animals used in
research or teaching at Kansas State University. Investigators are
billed on a monthly basis for those expenses. Bills are distributed
to the respective investigators following the month these charges
were incurred. Per Diem rates are calculated using the NIH’s Cost
Analysis and Rate Setting Manual for Animal Facilities published
in 2000 as a guide for establishing charges.
All charges are per animal except for rodents
and frogs, which have a per cage charge. The number of animals
housed per cage must conform to the standards established in the
Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and the Animal
Welfare Act (AWA). Animals housed together must be compatible.
Per Diem charges include: daily observation of every animal, one or
two feedings per day of a standard ration and appropriate husbandry
and sanitation of cages or pens according to ARF SOPs and applicable
guidelines.
Ancillary charges may be incurred for
specialized husbandry requirements such as feeding specialized
diets, the use of personal protective equipment not required for
normal husbandry, breeding colony management, administering
medications or compounds, and other requests not considered part of
normal husbandry.
ARF technicians are available to assist investigators with their
research projects. Ancillary charges for these services will be on
an hourly basis. The charge for animal science technician time is
$16.00 per hour and the charge for professional (veterinarian and
veterinary technician) time is $24.00 per hour. Additional charges
for overtime or holiday pay may be incurred
The ARF has the ability to transport and deliver
animals for investigators. Animal transportation charges will be
based on a mileage charge of $0.86 per mile with a minimum
transportation charge of $10.00.
