The OLAW quarterly webinar on 21st Century Cures Act: Update on Implementation will be prerecorded – submit your questions by February 19, 2021
Due to software licensing restrictions for the number of registrants allowed to attend live webinar events, OLAW’s quarterly webinar titled “21st Century Cures Act: Update on Implementation” featuring Drs. Patricia Brown (NIH), Betty Goldentyer (USDA), and Brianna Skinner (FDA) will be prerecorded and released on March 11, 2021. Therefore, no registration is required.
In this webinar, the speakers will provide updates on the agencies’ progress in implementing the recommended measures of the 21st Century Cures Act. The 21st Century Cures Act, Section 2034(d), directed NIH, USDA, and FDA to “complete a review of applicable regulations and policies for the care and use of laboratory animals and to make revisions, as appropriate, to reduce administrative burden on investigators while maintaining the integrity and credibility of research findings and the protection of research animals.” In response to this directive, a working group from NIH, USDA, and FDA identified regulations and policies that contribute to the administrative burden. It released a report in 2019 detailing the planned actions of the three agencies.
If you have any questions for Drs. Brown, Goldentyer, and Skinner, please submit them to olawdpe@mail.nih.gov before February 19, 2021.
