Animal Resources 4 Year Per Diem Plan
Multi-year projections for per diem rates, to assist with grant budgeting, can be found at the link below. It is recommended to use the per diem rate of the last year of your proposed grant to ensure an adequate budget for animal costs. These rates are subject to change based on yearly cost accounting adjustments, but we hope it will be a helpful framework.
