Licensing and Registration for Researchers Working with Controlled Substances
Each researcher who intends to work with Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) controlled substances in their laboratory must obtain and maintain registration with the DEA (external link). The registration allows the researcher to purchase, use, and dispose of controlled substances. The registration and licenses must be accessible upon request for inspection. Registered researchers must comply with all state and federal regulatory requirements while working with controlled substances.
Note: Copies of all registration and licensing documents must be kept; copies must also be submitted to the Office of Research Compliance (umric@maine.edu) as generated/received.
