The Research Resource
Webinar
October 30, 2024 | 1:30-2:30pm (eastern)
Join us for a one-hour session to learn about IMEDS, a flagship program of the Regan-Udall Foundation for the FDA. The IMEDS program serves as a national resource to advance the use of FDA tools, including frameworks, guidance documents, and Sentinel initiative tools, in the conduct of real-world data (RWD) studies to advance public health and medical evidence generation.
Speakers will discuss how IMEDS impacts the RWD space and presents information about how your organization can get involved. You’ll hear from leaders across the IMEDS Analytic Center, Operational Center, and health system Network Partners about their experience with IMEDS, the value the network brings, and opportunities for the future. You’ll also hear from project sponsors about their experiences leveraging IMEDS resources and the opportunities it has afforded them.
