- The CTRP Registration application sends Trial Owners, Trial Submitters, and Site Administrators a verification reminder on the first day of each month listing any trials that meet Trial Verification requirements: Within 30 days of their Verification Due Date (6 months past the trials Record Verification Date) or past due.
CTRO staff members are responsible for verifying the types of trials below. Trial owners and submitters are responsible for verifying all others.
