Research Registration

Those conducting research, under an approved protocol, must apply under one of two processes:

A.    Non Practicioner Application

A Non-practioner, in the State of Indiana, is anyone that performs research and does not have a practioner's license. A researcher is classified as a non-practioner and can only be registered as such. A non-practioner cannot dispense or write perscriptions with a researcher registration, but can purchase and/or administer a controlled substance. A researcher works under an approved research protocol, which specifies the exact procedures and drugs that may be used.

DOCUMENTATION NEEDED FOR THE NON-PRACTIONER APPLICATION PROCESS:

1. Applicant will need to verify their identity by providing their social security number for the DEA application.
2. Applicants curriculum vitae.

4. One-page summary listing the procedures to be performed using the controlled substance, the types and quantities of drugs to be stored on site; specific protocols for monitoring drug usage, invetory control destruction, security, storage, and access, and a research objective. This can be accomplished using the ORI Controlled Substance Registration Protocol Summary Form.
5. Names of people who will be handling or have access to storage of controlled substance inventory
6. Any additonal documentation that may be requested by the Indiana State Board of Pharmacy or Drug Enforcement Administration.
