AHRMM Comment Letter to FDA RE: “Modernizing FDA’s Data Strategy”

In September 2019, FDA announced its Technology Modernization Action Plan (TMAP).

The TMAP will provide a foundation for developing a more fluid, agile, and efficient FDA that is scaled to respond to novel technologies and a rapidly increasing workload.
