The period December 1, 2020, to the end of 2021 is a transition period in which sponsors can choose whether they use the Research Declaration or the VGO to assess the suitability of the participating centers.

Use of the VGO will become mandatory from a date to be determined in 2021. Learn about the new procedure and the VGO to be prepared for this change!
