Explanation of Rates

The UCSD rates are applicable to UCSD researchers. Service is however available to non-UCSD researchers. For those researchers working at non-profit institutions (i.e. academic/research institutes) there is an outside non-profit rate. The rate is based on the UCSD rate plus 45%. CA Sales Tax (7.75%) will be collected from all Non-UC clients.

For those researchers working at for-profit institutions (i.e. biotech companies/pharma) there is an outside for-profit rate. The rate is based on the UCSD rate plus 100%. CA Sales Tax (7.75%) will be collected from all Non-UC clients.

Researchers that work at an outside institute but have a UCSD affiliation (e.g. Adjunct Appointment/collaboration) will only be eligible for the UCSD rate if payment is with a UCSD index number. If payment is via a PO from their respective organization then the outside non-profit or outside for-profit rate will apply. For more information, please contact Heather Pfeffer.
