* Internal users are funded by UCSF sources (or other UC campus sources) and provide a valid fund-DPA for payment.  Affiliate users are funded by non-UC sources and pay by check, but the funding is provided by a recognized UCSF affiliate (SFGH, SFVAMC, NCIRE, Gallo, Gladstone, HHMI, or LBNL).  A 5% handling fee applies.  External users are funded by non-UC sources and pay by check. External rates reflect a 5% handling fee and 26% overhead.
