Details
Procurement of animals from off-campus sources for use in research and teaching protocols requires advance approval from the ACP-LAB (formerly DAR). The investigator should review the policy on laboratory animal procurement and complete the Animal Request Form. While investigators may note their source preferences, ACP-LAB staff will place all orders with vendors for the requested animals based on the information provided on the Animal Request Form and will coordinate shipment and delivery.
