There are numerous regulations at both the state and federal level, which govern the purchase of, access to and use of controlled substances. OVCR, OACIB, and Pharmacy all work together to assist with non-clinical research controlled substance oversight at UIC. The goal is to facilitate the process for the investigator and to ensure compliance of with federal and state regulations. Please email CScompliance@uic.edu if you have any questions regarding the use of controlled substances in non-clinical research.
