General Points

Any changes in your program need to be reflected in the online application at the time of the change. It is the responsibility of the CN Administrator to ensure these changes take place.

Any changes made in the Sponsor or Site Applications after approval may change the application status to unapproved. If this occurs please be sure to contact NCDPI to get it re-approved by sending an email.

We strongly encourage the use of all NCDPI prototype documents which can be found in the system Download Forms section.
