Award Description: The long-term goals of The University of Montana-Missoula (UM) are to develop and maintain the institutional infrastructure and programs necessary for a stat-of-the-art animal resource program and continued accreditation by the Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International.
