On April 4, the Alliance for Aging Research’s Vice President of Public Policy Cynthia Bens will testify before the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions about the reauthorization of the Medical Device User Fee Act (MDUFA) and Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA).
PDUFA authorizes the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to collect fees from companies that produce specific drug and biological products. The reauthorization of PDUFA will allow for timely review in the approval process for new products.
