VCU/VCUHealth Clinical Research Standard Operating Procedures

Our clinical research SOPs provide a common framework for VCU and VCU Health teams, supporting quality, efficiency, and regulatory compliance across clinical research. They are aligned with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and apply to all research using VCU Health services or facilities. Individual schools, centers, or departments may develop additional SOPs or working guidelines to describe local procedures in more detail, but these documents must meet or exceed the standards established in this core SOP set. 

Users are expected to access SOPs directly from the official SOP website before distributing or applying them and should avoid retaining local copies to prevent use of outdated versions.
