Accommodation and lab fees are currently under revision and will be updated to reflect the rising costs associated with research at BMSC.
Research service fees* are structured for member, non-member and corporate users.
Member:
- Clients that are affiliated with our member universities (UVic, UAlberta, UCalgary, UBC, SFU). This would include Adjunct Professors, Researchers with temporary positions, and BMSC staff.
Non-member:
- Clients that are not affiliated with our member universities, but are involved in not-for-profit research & education.
Corporate:
- Clients that are not associated with research or education, and / or clients that use BMSC services for profit-based goals.
*All the rates are in Canadian dollars and are subjected to GST. All rates are subject to change.
**Post-departure cleanup fees will be invoiced to Researchers based on staffing and time required. To avoid being charged cleanup fees, Researchers are encouraged to make sure research areas, and research and personal equipment are cleaned and stored prior to departure.
