The Research Facility Advisory Committee (RFAC) has recommended that resources in the new Center for Disease Research (CDR) facility be central cores. Towards that end, NIH is currently investigating ways to leverage DVR and IC resources to provide high quality services at equal or lower cost while maximizing available resources as a best practices model for future adoption. Using this model, efficiencies may be promoted through streamlined processes. We would like to obtain your thoughts on the viability of the following scenarios.

Please rate the following scenario’s overall viability using a scale ranging from (1) Not at all viable (5) Could live with the scenario to (10) Great idea. Realize that each and every scenario will have pros and cons. We are soliciting those from you as well as the overall rating.

17. Combining DVR and IC surgery operations within the 14E facility for any IC to utilize.

18. Pros (please describe, optional)_____________________________________________________

19. Cons (please describe, optional)_____________________________________________________

Other scenario(s) that could meet your needs for current and/or additional animal services. Please describe other scenarios. For each scenario, please briefly describe the pros and cons. (optional)

20. Scenario 1

21. Scenario 2

22. Scenario 3

Section 5: All Respondents

Comments

23. Other Comments, Suggestions, Caveats, etc.? (Optional)______________________________________

End of Survey: Thank you for your participation in this survey. Your responses will be carefully summarized as part of a combined analysis for improving animal services at NIH.
