Internal Service Providers (ISPs) are WashU operating units providing goods and/or services on an on-going basis for a fee primarily to other WashU departments, in support of WashU’s academic and research mission.  In some cases, goods and services may also be offered to external (non-WashU) customers.  As a provider of goods and services potentially funded by federal resources, WashU is responsible for ensuring that ISP activities follow uniform and proper accounting practices, have effective business operations, consistent oversight, and adherence to relevant regulations, including applicable federal costing regulations.
