The CTSU Help Desk provides a central point of contact and resources for Network Group members, Clinical Sites, and the general public on CTSU operations. The Help Desk consists of the Main Help Desk, located in the Rockville Office and the Regulatory Help Desk which is located in the Philadelphia Office. The CTSU Help Desk is available from 9:00 AM ET to 6:00 PM ET, Monday through Friday except major US holidays. Contact can be made by fax, telephone, or email.
