@SteveFDA
- Because data are so essential to what we do, we are committed to ensuring that our mechanisms for collecting, reviewing and analyzing data are equally as sophisticated as the scientific advances that we are reviewing.
- I am pleased to announce we’ll be hosting a public meeting on March 27 on our data strategy—this is an opportunity for public input and engagement on this important topic. https://go.usa.gov/xpukz
- Data are the foundation of our most important work as a science-based regulatory agency and we look forward to collaborating with both internal and external experts on approaching critical topics like data stewardship, strategy, standards and more.
