Source Authorization Guidelines and Deadlines Prior to submitting your first animal order, all Investigators who intend to house animals at the Animal Science Center (ASC) must submit ISR forms to authorize animal housing and special service costs The Investigator and grant administrator are responsible for monitoring the actual monthly housing and special services charges. Should you decide to change the funding source(s), Animal Science Center (ASC) must be provided with thirty (30) days advance notice and a new ISR submitted. An animal housing and special services invoice will be received each month. Investigators and grant administrators are given 5 business days to review and dispute their invoices prior to the charges being uploaded. After 5 business days, all charges will automatically be charged to source(s) designated on the ISR. Failure to provide the BUASC with an updated ISR could result in restricted access to animals until a funding source is provided to the BUASC.
