A postgraduate research opportunity is currently available in the Office of Generic Drugs/Office of Generic Drug Policy at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This project will conduct regulatory and historical research and analysis to identify the reference listed drug (RLD) for thousands of abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) in the generic drug review platform. The project's research will be documented and tracked, and information provided in a systematic manner. The project will enlarge our knowledge and understanding of the RLD for ANDAs.
Under the guidance of a mentor the participant may be involved in: researching historical and regulatory information for ANDAs to identify the RLD for ANDAs; documenting RLD information and research; systematically populating the generic drug review platform with the documented RLD information where necessary.
