The Behaviour and Physiology Core charges three basic rates.
- Core Staff Performed Research rate is for trained Core staff to perform all aspects of behavioural testing and data analysis.
- Direct Supervision rate is for use of the Core during training or with direct supervision of Core staff.
- Indirect Supervision rate is for independent use of the facility after adequate training. Normally, users initially conduct experiments and analyze data with direct supervision. When Core staff has deemed the user competent to work independently, users can conduct their experiments with assistance from core staff only as needed.
The rates for University of Ottawa researchers and affiliates are lower than those of outside users, due to a subsidy provided by University of Ottawa for its own scientists.
