ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is providing notice of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between FDA and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This MOU establishes the terms of collaboration between the two Federal agencies to develop a unified Federal approach to adverse event (AE) reporting. Specifically, FDA and NIH will collaborate in development of a project that will result in a web-based method for consumers, health professionals, investigators, sponsors, and other parties to electronically submit AE reports. The project includes the development of at least two products: (1) A Rational Questionnaire, an interactive help system that will assist reporters of information in determining what specific data need to be submitted and to whom, and (2) a prototype to test the feasibility of a central, Federal web-based portal to provide direct, seamless, online submission of adverse event reports to appropriate agencies.

DATES:

The agreement became effective September 27, 2007.
