Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)

Texas A&M will maintain written SOP for general GLP administrative functions and operations, preparation and approval of study protocols, preparation and approval of amendments and deviations, preparation and approval of final reports, data management, record retention, and quality assurance. Each organizational unit engaged in GLP studies will have written (management approved) SOP governing GLP research activities applicable to the department.


All SOP will be reviewed at least biennially and historical records will be maintained. SOP and forms used in GLP facility operation and study activities will be maintained and distributed through a document control process. Deviations to SOP will be documented and reported to the study director(s) for determination of study impact. Revisions to SOP affecting GLP study activities will be authorized by the study director(s).
