The FDA Is Accepting Online Nominations For Its Mulitiple Advisory Panels

The Food and Drug Administration launched a new Web tool on Wednesday that allows people to submit nominations for the agency’s numerous advisory panels without resorting to email or paper mail.

In addition to reducing the amount of paper in the nomination process, the new system will also allow the FDA to use metrics to review its applicant pool, the agency said. Currently applications must be mailed or emailed to FDA.
