RESEARCH ANIMAL RESOURCES INDEMNIFICATION
POLICY
If a mistake or incident occurs that affects or may affect the ability
to use an animal or group of animals for the intended research, an investigation
as to cause will take place. If the cause is clearly due to error on the
part of RAR personnel (eg. mix up of strain of animals, incorrect feeding
of special diet), RAR will refund the purchase price of the animals or
replace the animals and will refund the per diem charged from the date
of purchase until the error was discovered. If the cause is uncertain
(eg. animals are missing but unknown who took them, animals left without
water bottle but it could have been due to investigator staff error, etc.),
then no financial compensation will occur.
In the event of a physical plant malfunction resulting in the death of
animals or other damage preventing the use of animals for the intended
research, RAR will assist, at no charge, in writing the insurance claim
for the investigator(s) but will not be financially responsible for either
damages or any deductible in effect. If a billing error is discovered
within six months of date of billing (per diem, animal purchase, special
services), it will be rebilled or, in the case of overcharge, refunded;
if the error is discovered at a later date, RAR will absorb the cost of
underbilling.
Appeals or concerns about this policy will be referred to the Assistant
Vice President for Research, Academic Health Center.
