The ACF serves as the purchasing and receiving agent for all animals, medical gases and drugs. Cost of purchase plus any applicable fees, charges, and/or freight are recharged to the appropriate budget entity.

  20. Project Organizational Chart Office of Research and Economic Development Research Management Solutions Individual Memberships Three steps need to occur to justify the purchase of an individual membership versus a departmental/institutional membership: • Request an email or memorandum from the organization stating that they do not have Departmental/Institutional classification of memberships and only offer individual memberships.  • Request a memorandum from the Dean, Vice President or Budget Manager of your department that describes how a membership to the specific organization is essential to the individual employee’s statutory duties and responsibilities.  • Submit both documents as back up for the purchase. In the event that the organization does offer institutional/departmental memberships but an individual membership will be more beneficial, please include those benefits in the memorandum from the Dean, Vice President or Budget manager.  In this case, step 1 can be bypassed.
