The state will begin accepting applications for medical marijuana research proposals starting in October, the Department of Consumer Protection announced.
DCP said in-state research will strengthen the state’s medical marijuana program and create more opportunities for employment in the field. The research will also help the medical community continue to monitor the safety of marijuana in treating patients.
Hospitals, healthcare facilities, institutions of high education, licensed medical marijuana producers and licensed medical marijuana dispensaries are all eligible to submit proposals.
“We are excited to have serious research take place in Connecticut and look forward to approving any proposal that meets our requirements,” said Deputy Commissioner Michelle Seagull in a press release.
