Billing
Investigators receive monthly invoices from DLAR via email 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. PI is responsible for ensuring invoices are paid to DLAR promptly and through 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 access to the animal facilities.
