RAR processes animal care and service charges through an electronic system called eSirius. Billing for the costs associated with the purchase of animals, the daily care of animals, and technical services are processed monthly through eSirius for all protocols involving animal research at JHU.
Requesting an eSirius LABEL
To authorize billing for animal care and services, JHU investigators are required to request an eSirius LABEL and complete the requirements to obtain eSirius ACCESS.
Once an account is created, investigators can view their monthly invoices and should become accustomed to reviewing their accounts regularly for accuracy.
Satellite locations such as Kennedy Kreiger (KKI) and APL are sent an invoice directly by the RAR Business Office.
Billing Requirements
- A current and approved ACUC protocol must be on file
- A valid JHU budget number (Internal (I/O) or Cost Center (CC)) is required to establish an eSirius LABEL
- Access to eSirius
- If a grant is ending, investigators are required to submit a request to update their eSirius LABEL at least 2 months prior to the close of the account.
- At this time, protocols with multi-PI or co-PIs can only have one budget number attached to their eSirius LABEL
Updating a LABEL
To update an existing IO or CC account, please complete the LABEL Authorization Form.
*No changes will be made to an account until this form is received.
Specific information on our rates, including our per diem rates, can be found on our Services, Housing Area & Per Diem Rates page.
