Controlled Substances: Managing Authorized Personnel

Principal investigators (PIs), learn how to update authorized personnel on your Controlled Substances Use Authorizations (CSUA), and review responsibilities and training.

  2. Send the completed and signed forms to the Controlled Substances Program Office:
     Mail Code: 0089

Review responsibilities

Authorized personnel must:

• Use CS exclusively for the purpose stated in CSUA.
• Maintain a secure storage location for CS at all times.
