FDA Revises MAPP for Regulatory Project Management Site Tours
A newly-revised manual of policies and procedures (MAPP) document released by the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research outlines the policies and procedures for selecting pharmaceutical companies for participation in FDA's Site Tours Program (STP) and how FDA oversees the program.
