Annual Progress Report
The Research Advisory Panel Office is required to monitor all current ongoing Schedule I and Schedule II controlled substance research activity in California. In order to accomplish this, the Panel requires an annual Progress Report from each Sponsor/PI, including whose research was approved up to September of the previous year to be forwarded to the Panel office by February 25th every year.
Note: Reporting an annual progress report to the Panel is a mandatory requirement, the Panel Office does not send an acknowledge letter to each Sponsor/PI.
- A brief summary of research performed and findings made during the calendar year (this requirement may be augmented by including reprints of papers or copies of reports published)
- Research plans for the upcoming calendar year (with indication of any additional controlled substances planned for procurement in the upcoming year)
- Notation of any changes in the research project, (substantive changes should be explained in detail so that the Panel can review them as protocol amendments), and
- A photocopy of the controlled substances inventory log maintained at your site for record keeping (if applicable)
The Panel also requires notification of completion, and a final report, to be forwarded to the Panel office when each study is completed.
