Depending on the material, species and research use, in vivo requests may be subject to a 2-3 month delay. The ERD is responsible for coordinating requests. The ERD will circulate the request internally to scientists and project managers for their review and approval. ERD will request any additional information from the requestor and send the requestor a Material Transfer Agreement for signature. The ERD will be in contact with the requestor if any issues or problems come up.
Most issues deal with shipping.
Requestors are responsible for obtaining the import permits necessary for the material to clear customs. Requestor must contact the regulatory agency in their country and obtain the permit. Copies should either be sent to the ERD or requestor's custom broker. Most materials are perishables and are packed in enough dry ice to last 48-72 hours. Please contact the ERD if you have any questions about this.
