Controlled Substances in Research

Back

Controlled substances are used in some research projects at UTSA. These controlled substances are still subject to federal and state laws enforced by the DEA and Texas Department of Public Safety. Licensure is needed prior to acquiring and using controlled substances in research. Contact the Laboratory Safety Manager well in advance of any planned research to begin the licensure process.
