TECHNICAL AND CONSULTATION SERVICES FOR RESEARCH PROCEDURES
The staff of Veterinary Resources will provide technical services such as blood withdrawal, administration of anesthetics, animal transportation, etc. to support investigators in their research activities. Services may also be provided for surgery, pathology and radiology. Certain services are provided on a fee-for-service basis. Inquiries and prior arrangements for these services can be arranged by contacting our office. Through pre-research consultations, budgeting for these services can be included in research grant applications.
Pre-Research Consultation
The Program, through its faculty, has as one of its missions the provision of information and advice regarding:
- Special caging or experimental techniques.
- Selection of appropriate animal species to carry out specific animal techniques.
- Animal models of human diseases.
- Anatomical and physiological peculiarities of animals used in research.
- Techniques of anesthesia, analgesia, chemical restraint, and dosages.
- Techniques of blood and other sampling and drug or chemical administration.
- Pathological and clinical effects of intercurrent animal disease.
- Estimates of animal purchase prices and future per diem rates.
(We encourage such consultations prior to the preparation of grant and contract applications.)
