Billing Information

Billing

Investigators receive monthly invoices from DLAR for animal purchases, per diems, and other charges (e.g., veterinary services, surgeries, drugs/supplies, shipping). Invoices are issued about two weeks after the month ends.

Please review your invoice for correct account information. Any account change requests should be sent to the DLAR billing email address below. The PI is responsible for ensuring invoices are paid to DLAR promptly and through the correct accounts.

If DLAR invoices are not paid within 30 days of issue, a reminder will be sent. Continued non-payment may result in suspension of the ability to house animals in the facility.

For billing questions, contact dlar_billing@stonybrook.edu
