Resources available for research involving DEA Schedule 1 substances

Researchers considering protocols with Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Schedule I substances can now access a planning checklist. These substances are currently being investigated at other institutions in the areas of anxiety/depression due to terminal illness, post-traumatic stress disorder, major depression, eating disorders, alcohol and opioid use disorders.

The checklist and an associated flowchart are available on the Duke Early Phase Research Unit (DEPRU) website and on myRESEARCHpath.
