“Request to Connect” - A New Way for Patients to Connect with FDA

The FDA Patient Affairs Staff would like to share an exciting announcement - the FDA “Request to Connect” portal is now live: www.fda.gov/RequestToConnect

This new patient portal gives patients and caregivers a single entry point to the Agency for questions and meeting requests. Co-developed by the Patient Affairs Staff and the medical product centers, the portal will route inquiries to the appropriate medical product center or office to ensure that they are received and responded to in an effective and efficient manner. As patient populations and their needs evolve and become increasingly complex, Patient Affairs want patients and those who advocate on their behalf to know that our door is open. As a science-based agency, we continue to develop and engage programs that help FDA understand the patient perspective and advance the science of patient input.
