costs of animal research facilities from the indirect cost pool to be consistent with the allocation of F&A costs for other research space, to ensure high-quality animal-based research, and to ensure humane care of animals consistent with federal regulations. After publication and public discussion of the committee's report, the Office of Grants and Acquisition Management issued an administrative 6

A future survey could then collect data on the magnitude of the various cost centers as a function of such variables as species mix, physical plant layout, veterinary services, and personnel mix. It should also be noted that this report emphasizes containing the costs of using mice in research because they are the most common animal used and, in the experience of the committee, account for a sizable portion of the cost of operating an animal research facility.
