Recommendations
• The group recommends a staged approach for soliciting financial support:1. Encourage an academic unit subsidy2. Reduce DAR operational costs
• Reduction of under used facility spaces• Better technology
3. Escalation of per diem charges4. Fees on charges paid from unrestricted
accounts such as gifts or general funds
Implementation
• Minimize impact on research and investigators
• Staff reduction from attrition• Seek feedback and advice • Begin immediately where possible • Incremental process• Goal of deficit reduction in 3 years
