Purpose

University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis’ policy for the use of controlled substances in laboratory and animal research provides an overview of responsibilities that must be met when using controlled substances in laboratory and/or animal research.

This policy applies to all UHSP faculty, staff, and students, and UHSP affiliated investigators who use controlled substances in laboratory and/or animal research and receive materials through the University's license or an individual researcher's license. This policy applies to all materials listed on Schedules I-V, as described in 21 CFR § 1300.01 and 19 CSR 30-1. The DEA has a complete list of Controlled Substances. This policy does not apply to the use of Controlled Substances in clinical patient care or clinical human subjects' research.

This policy also applies to investigators who obtain controlled substances through an outside, commercial vendor or government agency, for use in laboratory research not involving animals, or for approved animal research where investigators purchase controlled substances directly from commercial vendors or receive them from government agencies using the University's license or an individual researcher's license.
