FDA laws and regulations form the foundation of the system and requirements for development of drugs, biologics, and devices, gaining approval and ongoing responsibilities after marketing. It is not always easy to interpret or apply these requirements to specific projects. To assist with this, the FDA has published hundreds of guidance documents to share their current expectations and best practices. This mass of information can be time-consuming to wade through, form strategic plans, and practical implementation tactics.
