Patient-Focused Drug Development Program Staff
The Patient-Focused Drug Development Program Staff leads initiatives and provides strategic, regulatory, program, and policy assistance within the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) to facilitate the incorporation of patient input into decision-making.
What We Do
- Design, develop, and implement programs to facilitate the incorporation of patient input into decision-making.
- Advise and support CDER and collaborate with other FDA Centers to advance the use and role of patient experience data in regulatory decision-making.
