Working with Collaborating Institutions

Montclair State University implemented a policy to provide guidance and procedures addressing projects involving outside organization (called “Collaborating Organization”) with 1) live vertebrate animals housed at outside organizations or 2) at Montclair State University with funding or support from outside organizations.

  • Collaborative work is taking place with funding by an outside organization and is using Montclair State facilities/Vivarium
  • Collaborative work is taking place with animals supplied by an outside organization for use by Montclair State faculty or staff
