Facility Billing Policies:

Investigators will be charged to use the RBPC on an hourly basis. 

We have self-use and assisted-use fees. For self-use fees, there will be two tiers (I and II) that will depend on the cost of the equipment to be used (see table below). Assisted-use fees will be applied when the investigator requests that the entire behavioral assay is performed by the RBPC. For new users, the initial two hours will be charged at the training and technical assistance rate. These two hours include training, RBPC access, consulting on IACUC approval and experimental design. An alternate pricing schedule is also available for external users.

Billing of users will be conducted on a monthly basis and submitted by the Facility Director to the Financial Operations team within the Office of Financial Strategy and Planning (OFSP). Billing will be for the previous month’s work and will be submitted by the first workday of the following month.
