FDA launches online ‘transparency’ services
As part of the plan, FDA offer will Web-based videos about the agency’s tasks, such as how to find out if a drug is approved, and online forums where the public may question senior officials about how drugs and medical devices move to market. FDA will detail the services on its Web site.
The transparency project is part of the Obama administration’s Open Government Initiative, its plan to make federal agencies more accessible and to share information more widely. The FDA’s initiative is being led by Joshua Sharfstein, principal deputy FDA commissioner.
