RAR oversees the ordering and procurement of research animals, including rodents, non-human primates, and other species.
Animal Ordering
Most research animals used within JHU are purchased from an approved list of commercial suppliers and dealers and may be brought directly into JHU rodent colonies.

Billing
Investigators must obtain an Animal Resources LABEL from the RAR Business Office, which authorizes RAR to automatically transfer funds from a university budget to cover the cost of animal care and services.
