COST ANALYSIS AND RATE SETTING MANUAL FOR ANIMAL RESEARCH FACILITIES Release Date: July 10, 2000 NOTICE: RR-00-010 National Center for Research Resources The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), a component of the National Institutes of Health, announces the availability of the 2000 edition of the Cost Analysis and Rate Setting Manual for Animal Research Facilities. The document may be obtained free-of-charge at the NCRR Web site: http://www.ncrr.nih.gov/newspub/CARS.pdf The Cost Analysis and Rate Setting Manual for Animal Research Facilities provides a methodology for including a portion of costs associated with animal research in an animal research facility in the institution’s Facilities and Administrative (F&A) rates. This methodology will help animal research facilities to apply recent policy changes issued by the Division of Cost Allocation, Department of Health and Human Services. These changes in the allocation of facility and other costs are in keeping with the requests from investigators, research animal facility managers, institutional administrators and scholarly societies to treat animal research facilities similarly to other institutional research laboratory facilities. This manual has been revised by an expert committee which consulted extensively with a number of professional organizations. In addition, eight volunteer biomedical research institutions field-tested the suggested methodology. Institutions that cannot produce an electronic copy of the manual may request a single copy. To order a copy or to obtain additional information, contact: Office of Science Policy and Public Liaison National Center for Research Resources/NIH 6705 Rockledge Drive, Suite 5140 Bethesda, MD 20892-7965 Tele: 301-435-0888 Fax: 301-480-3558 Email: ospio@ncrr.nih.gov
