Account Management

Internal User – Funding source administered through the University of Illinois (C-FOAPAL Required).

The following information is required to submit your online request for a new BRL account:

• An approved animal use protocol (ACC) number
• A billable Banner C-FOAPAL account number
• Business manager contact details

Once a BRL account is established, the investigator and business manager will receive a confirmation with the account details. Monthly billing charges are posted directly to the fund ledger provided at the time of account request.

External User – Funding source not administered through the University of Illinois (General Accounts Receivable Vendor Number required).

The following information is required to submit your request for a new BRL account:

• An approved animal use protocol (ACC) number
• Business manager contact details
• Completed GAR Account Creating Request Form

To request direct billing to an external organization, it is required to set up a university general receivables account. The University will establish a vendor identification number for a General Accounts Receivable (GAR) account. A new BRL account number will be created once GAR has issued a vendor identification number.

Once a BRL account is established, the investigator and business manager receives a confirmation with the account details. External user payments for BRL invoices are made directly to the University Student Financial Services & Cashier Operations (USFSC), the university authorized unit to receive and process payments against GAR receivables.

Acceptable forms of payment include paper check and electronic check fund withdrawl. External users may enroll in the GAR e-check payment option.

• Newly approved protocols and protocol renewals are not automatically assigned to an existing BRL account number. The PI must either link the new protocol to an existing account or create a new account for the new protocol.
• More than one ACC number can be linked to an account if the funding source is the same; however a new account should be requested if using a different funding source.
• To add a protocol, update a C-FOAPAL, or update key personnel to an existing BRL account, please submit an online request.

HINT: If a protocol is not linked to an account, animals cannot be requested nor maintained under the protocol.

For questions or more information regarding BRL accounts, please contact the BRL business office.
