Apply rates in the table above to services provided by Specialized Service Facilities.

For example, for budgeting purposes, the 33% rate for the Laboratory Animal Medicine Unit applies only to animal care provided by LAMU. The 33% rate includes the daily per diem rate, animal treatment costs, and special services such as veterinary care, medical and surgical supplies, technical tests, and technical assistance.

Animal care not provided by LAMU is a normal direct expense and is subject to the indirect cost rate for the project.

Include animal purchases as normal operating expenses and in the modified total direct cost base.
