In case you missed Dr. Zdinak's talk at TSRC, here's the presentation. Some points to highlight are:
Why industry must recognize the difference between basic vs. applied behavioral science research, and understand how FDA's mindset impacts their expectations of research in your PMTAs and MRTPAs.

FDA asks industry applicants to consider all aspects of research that a social and behavioral scientist does during doctoral-level training: Describe behavior, Monitor behavior, Predict behavior, & Explain behavior

Dr. Zdinak's work on developing an e-learning curriculum for healthcare providers on domestic violence/intimate partner violence is the foundation for this ARAC initiative.
