What is Stanford University’s Controlled Substances & Precursor Chemicals Program?
Research use of selected drugs and precursor chemicals are regulated by the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and California Department of Justice (CA-DOJ). To assist Stanford personnel in complying with these regulations and Stanford University policy, specific institutional requirements have been established for the management of controlled substances and precursor chemicals. The University has an institutional registration with the DEA for research involving Schedule II-V Controlled Substances; precursor chemicals may be procured for the researcher using this institutional registration.
