Arranging for OAR Services:

Who should you Contact?

For general information, or any questions not addressed below, email: OARinfo@missouri.edu


PIs and research technicians should feel free to contact any OAR staff member to request animal care or technical services, or to ask questions. OAR personnel are well-trained and, if the individual initially contacted is unable to provide the service requested or answer a question, he or she will direct the request or question to someone who is able to do so. You should only have to contact one OAR staff member to obtain the services you need. Below are listed some of the most probable efficient contacts for typical situations.
