DEA Licenses for MCG Faculty - http://www.mcg.edu/research/animal/DEA.htm

Before ANY researcher can obtain a federal DEA license, they must obtain a Georgia DEA license. The current cost of the Georgia DEA license application is $50.  MCG researchers can waive the federal DEA application fee because MCG is a state institution.  The Georgia DEA license application requires a photograph and notarized signature.   The research DEA application can be found in on the website of the Georgia Board of Pharmacy: http://www.sos.state.ga.us/plb/pharmacy/ . 

 

DEA Licenses for MCG Faculty - Only pharmacists, MD's DVMs, PI's, etc. should be registering in their own name followed by MCG.  (See example of form DEA-225)

If you have questions contact the Georgia Board of Pharmacy at telephone # 800-656-6568.

The Georgia research DEA applications typically require this information:

  1. A clearly stated purpose for the project in layman terms.
  2. The correct schedule and code number used for each drug.
  3. Identify the approximate amount of drug used per year.  
  4. Identify how the drugs are to be handled and/or used for research purpose(s).
  5. Identify storage location of drugs.  Identify the building, and when the building is open to the public and when locked.  Is there an alarm system (yes, no)?  Where will the drugs be obtained from?  Who will have keys to the locked storage place?  Who will have access to the controlled substances?  If the drugs are locked in a desk, then this must be over 750lbs in weight.  Where will the keys be stored?
  6. To provide detailed info regarding who will use the drugs.  The access to drugs requires identification with the following (please note that no one with a felony drug-related conviction may have access):
        a.  full name of each individual (including middle name)
    1. title
    2. date of birth
    3. race and sex
    4. nationality
    5. eye color
    6. hair color
    7. height
    8. weight
    9. resident address
    10. social security number
    11. telephone
    12. Has the individual ever held a prior DEA registration?
  7. Georgia application requires a current photograph.
  8. Georgia application requires notarized signature.

Note: The federal DEA application requires a state license number that may be “pending.” 

Note: State requires 5 years of record documentation; federal requirements are 2 years.

For documentation:

  1. Drug information must be kept in a bound log book.  If changes are made to an entry, a single line should be drawn through it, and initialed by the PI and dated and witnessed by a second person and dated.  No white-outs are allowed.  
  2. Log books should be kept with locked-up controlled substances with keys kept in secure location.
  3. The log book should show when drugs are received, how much was used on any given date, etc.  The log book must show the complete input and output for each drug.
