Research Application Process Flowchart

---

The flowchart below provides a quick guide to the Radiation Safety Committee research application process:

(If this flowchart doesn't fit your needs, please contact the RSO.)

Non-Clinical Research

• Research use involves radiation produced by machines (x-ray, CT, linear accelerator) or radioactive material (isotopes, nuclear medicine, sealed sources).

Radioactive Material (Isotopes, Radionuclides, Irradiators)

Unsealed Radioactive Material (liquid, gas or powder)

 

Is research being done under a current Authorized User?

 

YES - (choose from below)
Amendment Form for minor changes (possession limit, new area, etc.)

RAM Use Worksheet for Grants & Contracts Research Checklist

 

NO

Application for Use of Radioactive Materials in Research

 

Sealed Sources (encapsulated or plated sources)

 

New sealed source - Application for Use of Radioactive Materials in Research

 

Use of existing MCW Irradiator Facility - Irradiator Use Application (contact RSO for form)

Radiation Machines (X-Ray, X-Ray Diffraction, CT, Orthovoltage)

New Facility - Application for Analytical X-Ray

 

Existing Facility - Submit staff training information, contact RSO

 

Clinical Research

Is radioactive material/radiation therapy machine use a routine diagnostic/therapeutic modality (approved by NRC 10 CFR 35.1000 or Agreement State regulation)?

YES ? Is radiation use supervised by an Authorized User?

YES ? No RSC review required

NO ? Submit Application for Human Use, Pt I/Statement of Training & Experience, Medical to RSC

NO ? Does protocol have an assigned IND or IDE?

YES ? Submit Application for Human Use, Pt II and protocol to RSC

NO ? Submit Application for Human Use, Pt II and protocol to RDRC
