Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The Medical Device Research Interest Group (MDRIG) meets quarterly to share information and ideas on supporting research throughout the development pipeline. Recent topics of interest include an early feasibility supplement for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grantees that would facilitate grantee Food and Drug Administration (FDA) meetings and communication in the formative years in order to increase appropriate planning during the development of their technologies toward FDA approval. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is supporting a pilot of this concept and the group will incorporate feedback from this pilot into their planning. MDRIG continues to meet several times per year. |
