Introduction and Purpose 

The process for the preparation, conduct, and response to an FDA inspection of a clinical trial is detailed in UUSOP-02: FDA Inspections. In the event a study team is notified of an FDA inspection, or the study team is made aware there is a likelihood or has reason to believe there will be an inspection by the FDA, it is imperative that selected University offices are immediately notified.

Involvement of University central offices will promote success and consistency during FDA inspections. Table 1 below intends to provide additional guidance on which central offices will be involved during each phase of the inspection.
