Academy DPG Experts Needed
|
The Academy is considering commenting on a number of proposed regulations, regulatory guidance and information/data
collections in the next two months. If you are interested in contributing to the Academy's responses to these regulatory initiatives, please contact Courtney Puidk ([log in to unmask])
or Paula Martin ([log in to unmask]). Many of these information collections are seeking strategies and input for improving research and program structure on the
listed topics.
To read more about the proposed rules, click on the links below. The dates noted are the deadline for DPGs to
submit input to the Academy's Regulatory Affairs department. We need to collect comments at least three days prior
to each to allow enough time for the comments to be collected and edited for submission by HEN as a DPG.
