Controlled Substances
Due to their potential for misuse and
abuse, items listed by the US Department of Justice, Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) and/or the Connecticut
Department of Consumer Protection, Drug Control Division
(DCD), scheduled drugs (controlled substances) are subject
to special procurement, storage, use, and disposal requirements.
These include federal and state licensing (prior to procurement),
maintaining detailed storage and use records, and special
disposal procedures.
Since the University cannot, by law, maintain
a "blanket" registration for controlled substances, it
is the responsibility of individual researchers and other
staff using these materials to obtain appropriate registrations
and licenses.
OEHS facilitates the processing of State/Federal
controlled substance licensing/registrations for individual
Yale researchers. Controlled substances may only be ordered
through the Yale Purchasing Department. Medical Practitioners
may NOT use their prescription privileges to order controlled
substances for laboratory research.
