REQUEST FOR ORAL PRESENTATIONS

During online registration, you may indicate if you wish to present during a public comment session or participate in a specific session, and which topic(s) you wish to address. We will do our best to accommodate requests to make public comments. Individuals and organizations with common interests are urged to consolidate or coordinate their presentations, and request time for a joint presentation, or submit requests for designated representatives to participate in the focused sessions. All requests to make oral presentations must be received by August 15, 2022, and must be emailed to Sunita Shukla (Sunita.Shukla@fda.hhs.gov) with the title and brief description of your topic.

We will determine the amount of time allotted to each presenter (no more than 5 minutes) and the approximate time each oral presentation is to begin. We will select and notify participants, if selected as presenters, by August 18, 2022. If selected for presentation, any presentation materials must be emailed to Sunita Shukla (Sunita.Shukla@fda.hhs.gov) no later than August 24, 2022.
