Submitting Specimens to CRSP via RSST
Once CRSP has signed the SIF for your study, you may submit specimens for processing. The study team is responsible for submitting documentation to CRSP for each collection, at least 48 hr prior to the scheduled collection. Every effort is made to accommodate same day registrations, but staffing limitations and high volumes of registered specimens may delay processing.
Select pre-approved studies may use the electronic RSST webform. User guidance under development and will be posted soon.
