The Controlled Substance Program policies pertain to all researchers who use controlled substances and precursor chemicals in the course of research, instruction, or chemical analysis on the UCI campus, UCI-affiliated sites, and UCI Medical Center .

By UCI policy, in order to maintain the research registration with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), all who wish to use controlled substances or precursor chemicals at UCI must maintain current “Authorized User” status.

Lead researchers have responsibility of ensuring all employees and students who use controlled substances in the course of their research maintain current Authorized User status. Researchers are required to review the online procedure manual below and submit their employee ID # or student ID # in the field located at the end of the manual.
