Accessing LASP Services
The services of LASP laboratories and facilities may be accessed using the "Yellow Task Request System" and Accessions System. These web-based systems enable investigators to request services and obtain cost and time
estimates for each project. NCI approval is an integral function of these processes, which ensures that adequate funding and other resources are available to perform the work. |
LASP Animal Facility and ASP Online Access System
This online system provides investigators with current animal inventory data in NCI animal facilities as well as an overview of active Animal Study Proposals in both Frederick and Bethesda. The goal is to promote communication between the facility and the investigative staff to ensure that records are properly maintained and to provide an online resource for investigators to make colony management decisions. |
