All services are provided in cooperation and sponsorship with the National Institutes of Health and other federal government agencies. The center must execute an inter-agency agreement with the prospective research programs in order to provide any clinical trial services.
The HHS SSC follows standard industry and FDA registered methods for receiving, sampling, testing, accepting, and repacking of all clinical supplies. Retention samples of clinical trial pharmaceuticals are retained and stored for the duration of the study.
