Services

Some examples of technical assistance that Animal Resources can offer are listed below. We provide support to Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) facilities and all its associated academic departments, as well as outside entities. New projects are welcomed from all interested investigators, subject to review and approval by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.

Please contact our office to inquire about other professional and technical guidance available in support of your animal teaching and research related needs and current-year pricing. The cost-recovery fee rates for these services can also be provided to you upon request.
