Select Agent Research
Select Agents are hazardous biological agents and toxins that have been identified by the Department of Health and Human Services or the US Department of Agriculture as having the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety, to animal and plant health, or to animal and plant products.
The Center for Disease Control maintains a list of these agents.

Controlled Substances
[coming soon]
To ensure that the public has access to the published results of its funded research, the National Institutes of Health require researchers to submit final, peer-reviewed journal manuscripts that arise from NIH funds to the digital archive PubMed Central upon acceptance for publication. LLU researchers with NIH funding are required to comply with this requirement.
Helpful Resources & Links:
- See NIH guidelines on how to comply with this requirement.
- See the NIH Public Access Policy.
How to Register for ClinicalTrials.gov
Federal law requires that certain clinical trials be registered in the national, web-based database: ClinicalTrials.gov.
A description of the type of clinical trials that must be registered and registration procedures are described in the LLUH policy and procedure: Clinical Trials Registration. A clinical trials registration worksheet is also available to help you determine whether or not your clinical trial must be registered.
