Rates

The daily operation of the UCLA Mouse Physiology Lab Core is supported fees charged for the services rendered. The core was originally established in 1998 with start-up funds from the UCLA Laubisch Endowment for the purchase of expensive equipment and supply stock. Fees paid by the individual users offset the cost of the core's daily operations and study supplies. Due to the original endowment start-up contribution for equipment purchases, these fees are substantially lower than the costs potentially incurred by an individual lab for the same procedure.

Due to the complicated nature of each study, the rates typically include components from salaries, supplies, and equipment operational fees. The fees are set and approved by the UCLA Business and Finance Solutions team in accordance with the University of California Sales and Service Policy 340. Cost estimates will be provided prior to the start of any study after a consultation. The rates do NOT include animal purchases, DLAM mandated veterinary care or per diem costs unless specified prior to the start of the study. Study fees for internal incubator or outside clients are currently subject to a 39% overhead fee. Contact us for more information and a current estimate.
