Data Integrity in the COVID-19 Era and Beyond
A Three-Part FDAnews/CenterWatch Virtual Conference Series

COVID-19 has spread across the globe and in an effort to quell the pandemic, the FDA responded with guidelines to expedite effective treatments and devices. They’ve set new regulations meant to hasten the development and approval of products that could prevent, diagnose or treat the virus.

These guidelines, along with the Coronavirus Treatment Acceleration Program, Operation Warp Speed and growing public pressure, have rapidly pushed forward the process of finding solutions to this massive health crisis.

But this swift pace hasn’t absolved manufacturers and researchers of their long-held data integrity responsibilities. While the processes may be moving at a quicker pace, these standards remain steadfast.
