SurveyMonkey Powered Online Survey

We invite your participation in an FDA Town Hall session to be held at our 2022 FUS Symposium

In addition to live Q&A during the session, the survey will allow participants to pose questions anonymously and in advance to FDA’s reviewers, scientists, and management. This will give FDA additional time to prepare more in-depth answers and will hopefully encourage more detailed and critical questions from symposium participants. Questions regarding any aspect of the FDA’s function and procedures are welcome. Although FDA cannot comment on specific submissions, you are encouraged to ask questions related to your past experiences interacting with the agency. Questions will be routed to the relevant experts based on their content. Prior to the Symposium, the Foundation will anonymously publish all questions and answers online. A panel of FDA experts will then be available during the symposium to further discuss these questions and to answer any new questions.

To help FDA to address questions in a way that is relevant to participants you are kindly requested to submit a short survey along with your questions.
