The Controlled Substances Program for Research Manual and associated guidance documents were developed by Environmental Health & Radiation Safety (EHRS) to establish a written plan to ensure that research is conducted in compliance with state and federal regulations concerning the use and handling of controlled substances at Temple University (TU).

The United States Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulates the research use of controlled substances to prevent diversion and abuse. Compliance is the responsibility of the DEA registrant and must be accomplished by proper licensing and registration, proper recordkeeping, inventory, storage, and handling.
