FDA’s CDRH seeks applications for experiential learning program on FLASH Radiation Therapy

February 6, 2023

The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is seeking applications for their Experiential Learning Program (ELP) on FLASH radiation therapy. The ELP is a collaborative approach to closing the knowledge gap between emerging and innovative technology and the pre-market review of the resulting medical devices. Because technology continuously evolves, it is essential that CDRH staff are aware of and understand how medical devices are developed, clinically tested, manufactured and used. These formal training visits are not intended for the FDA to inspect, assess, judge or perform a regulatory function (for example, compliance inspections), but rather, they are an opportunity to provide CDRH staff with a better understanding of the products they review, how they are developed, the voice of the patient, challenges related to quality systems development and management in the product life cycle, and how medical devices fit into the larger health care system. The submission period is open until March 7, 2023, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern time. View the submission requirements.
