RI is a cornerstone of the regulatory landscape, and evidence-based information and the tools for monitoring and gathering it, are its prized components. RI professionals are regulatory sleuths, key players in pulling together that evidence to shape the policies, legislation, regulations, and guidelines regulators use in strategizing for drug development, approval, and product maintenance. In this series, a number of global regulatory affairs specialists write on aspects of regulatory intelligence that would help product developers stay current with the latest requirements and achieve their development goals in a timely, cost-effective manner.
