RSC Clinical Research Protocol Application
The RSC application process is completed through PROTECT. In addition to completing the radiation safety form, copies of the protocol, consent, assent (if applicable), and dosimetry tables must be uploaded with the application. If the protocol includes the administering of radioactive materials to a protocol participant, a Clinical Authorized User (CAU) Application is required.
Please note that clinical protocol applications to the RSC must be received at least ten (10) days prior to the RSC meeting at which the applicant requests review. Refer to the RSC meeting schedule (NIH credentials required) to plan your application submission.
For guidance on completing clinical protocol applications to the RSC, visit the DRS intranet (NIH credentials required) or email RSCExecSec@nih.gov.
Radiation Dose Library for Common Procedures
A radiation dose library for common procedures (NIH credentials required) has been provided to assist in drafting appropriate risk language for informed consents. This library contains dose estimates for most standard scans performed at the NIH. It does not contain dosimetry for radiation therapies. For unique procedures or use of novel imaging agents, a customized dose calculation may be required.
