Statistics in Regulatory Affairs

Terms of Reference

The Subcommittee on Regulatory Affairs will review, comment upon and seek to influence the development of regulatory requirements, guidelines and other documents by obtaining the recommendations of ISCB members (SiRA process). This primarily concerns the scientific aspects of data generation, collection, management, analysis, and reporting. In general, the subcommittee will seek out and handle all regulatory issues in the name of the Society with the approval of the President or in his/her absence, the Vice President. Here the approval refers to the SiRA process for gathering the recommendations of the ISCB members and not the content of those recommendations.
