Working Group Scope |
The development and adoption of data standards over the last decade has shown significant promise in improving efficient delivery of data to support drug product and device submissions as well as the review process. However, there have also been gaps, issues and challenges in the interpretation and use of data standards. This Working Group will identify specific gaps that prevent FDA and industry from Optimizing the Use of Data Standards. This Working Group will collaborate to close those gaps. |

Prior to her role, she was an active volunteer in PHUSE projects and publications since 2015, including Standardizing Data within the Inspection Site Selection Process, SDSP, Industry Experiences Submitting Standardised Study Data to Regulatory Authorities and Clinical Integrated Study Data and Analysis Data Reviewers Guides.
