The National Institutes of Health Office of the Director awarded A.T. Still University of Health Sciences $131,142 on September 1, 2026 under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to acquire a Lynx Model 310XL cage and bottle washer for the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine animal care facility. The university proposed purchase of the modern, efficient, eco-friendly washer to replace an outdated unit installed in 2010 that can no longer meet the demands of the shared research facility. Faculty growth of 20 percent since 2010 has driven increased demand for research animals; the facility currently houses approximately 100 rat cages and 80 mouse cages, all in active use. The university anticipates a 50 percent increase in animal numbers to accommodate new research protocols, but the inefficient existing washer limits expansion capacity and strains the facility's single full-time staff member. The new equipment will remove the bottleneck in cage management and preparation, enabling the facility to scale animal census and research scope. Performance occurs in Kirksville, Missouri, with a period of performance through August 31, 2027. This is a Project Grant assistance type. The Research Infrastructure Programs advance the NIH mission by supporting construction and modernization of research facilities and research resources, with evaluation focused on demonstrated need for equipment, technical expertise, advancement of research projects through novel technology, administration of equipment usage, and institutional support for long-term maintenance.
