Animal Facilities Improvement Program (AFIP) grants are provided to upgrade animal facilities that support biomedical and behavioral research funded by U.S. Public Health Service agencies. In addition to upgrading the facilities, these grants assist institutions in complying with the Animal Welfare Act, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, as well as Department of Health and Human Services policies related to the care and use of laboratory animals.
Support, provided by the NCRR Division of Research Infrastructure (DRI), is limited to alterations and renovations to improve laboratory animal facilities, and to the purchase of equipment for animal resources, diagnostic laboratories, transgenic animal resources, or similar associated activities.
