This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

The Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA is an independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, organization created by Congress to advance the mission of FDA to modernize medical, veterinary, food, food ingredient, and cosmetic product development; accelerate innovation, and enhance product safety. With the ultimate goal of improving public health, the Foundation provides a unique opportunity for different sectors (FDA, patient groups, academia, other government entities, and industry) to work together in a transparent way to create exciting new research and engagement projects to advance regulatory science.
The Foundation acts as a neutral third party to establish novel, scientific collaborations. Much like any other independently developed information, FDA evaluates the scientific information from these collaborations to determine how the Foundation projects can help the Agency to fulfill its mission.
Foundation projects currently include: Innovation in Medical Evidence Development and Surveillance, a public-private partnership that allows researchers to study drug safety concerns of interest to public health; an Expanded Access Navigator that offers instructional material and resources for physicians, patients, and their caregivers on how to access investigational drugs outside of clinical trials; and a new joint Foundation and FDA regulatory science fellowship program.
FDA Commissioner, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, will deliver a keynote address, followed by a panel discussion on the “Evolution of FDA Science and Engagement” and the role of the Foundation. Panelists will include the current FDA Commissioner, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, and former FDA Commissioners Drs. Robert Califf and Andrew C. von Eschenbach. The panel moderator will be Susan Dentzer, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Network for Excellence in Health Innovation. Find the meeting agenda at https://reaganudall.org/public-meeting.
