The House Energy & Commerce Committee has a bipartisan deal on reauthorizing FDA user fees that sets the parameters for FDA reforms, including enhancing accelerated approval and improving clinical trial diversity — but how much will the legislation change in the coming months and how? On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s editors discuss the requirements for FDA, HHS, sponsors and other stakeholders that would come into effect under the House’s proposed user fee legislation and what’s next for the bill. The podcast team also discusses Howard University’s mission to address racial health disparities, and how the university brings a human focus to research that might have otherwise stuck to laboratory models.
