Due to their potential for misuse and abuse, items listed by the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), scheduled drugs (controlled substances) are subject to special procurement, storage, use and disposal requirements. It is the responsibility of individual researchers and other staff using these materials to obtain appropriate registrations and licenses.

The Vice President for Research appoints the Controlled Substance Committee (CSC) with authority to authorize researchers’ use of controlled substances at UVM, and to review researcher activities for compliance with safety and security requirements.
