SRC Pre-Approval is Required For:

    • Hazardous chemicals, activities, or devices
    • Regulated substances
  • Projects involving human subjects, including testing devices or software apps, conducting surveys, or performing interviews.

Important Deadlines:

  • Recommended early submission for expedited review: November 3, 2025
    (Submitting by this earlier date increases the likelihood of a faster SRC review.)
