21st Century Cures: Announcing the Establishment of the BEST Resource Taxonomy; Establishment of a Public Docket; Request for Comments

摘要

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the establishment of a public docket to receive comments from interested parties (including academic institutions, regulated industry, and patient groups) on the Agency's publication of a glossary of terms which is part of the BEST (Biomarkers, EndpointS, and other Tools) Resource Taxonomy. FDA has developed a web page that describes the BEST Resource Taxonomy and links out to the official National Library of Medicine web page for the BEST glossary of terms. Comments on the BEST Resource Taxonomy will help FDA enhance its utility and may assist FDA in developing future versions of this resource and identifying best methods for conveying information about biomarkers, endpoints, and other drug development tools to the general public.
