Seamless Transition
Because of the importance of your research, we have developed a plan that will enable you to seamlessly transition all of your research animal or surgical service requirements directly to Charles River. Additionally, there will be minimal impact or change to the costs associated with acquiring these animals or services. We will extend a price match guarantee for the models that NCI has been providing to grantees. This includes:
- All orders up to seven weeks of age
- Surgical services
- Pregnant orders
- Mothers with litters
- Retired breeders
Lastly, we will work with the NCI to ensure that all strains or equivalent models currently offered by the NCI are available from Charles River in the future.
To begin the transition process, simply click here and provide us with your contact information. A member of our team will reach out to you and guide you through the process.
