Greetings,

The 2011 FDA/Industry Statistics Workshop will be held September 19-21, 2011 at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park, Washington D.C. This year we have a great improvement—online submission of session proposals (for plenary/concurrent sessions, short courses and roundtable luncheon discussions). Proposals will be accepted via the online web form beginning Nov 15, 2010 and will be accepted through December 15, 2010 for plenary/concurrent sessions and short courses, while roundtable luncheon discussion proposals will be accepted through February 28, 2011.

Please submit proposals for plenary/concurrent sessions, short courses and roundtable luncheon discussions at www.amstat.org/meetings/fdaworkshop/sessionproposals.
An organizing committee meeting (open to all) will be held in late January 2011 to vote on proposals and to start to make decisions on organizers. Typically, at least 1 organizer from FDA and 1 from industry/academia are requested for each session. It is not necessary or desirable to have all the organizers arranged at the time of submitting a session proposal. Details on the organizing committee meeting will be provided at a later date.
Our goal, with your input and assistance, is to make the 2011 FDA/Industry Workshop a tremendous success! We look forward to receiving your proposals when online submission opens November 15, 2010.

Sincerely,

The 2011 FDA/Industry Statistics Workshop Co-chairs:
Joan Buenconsejo and Brenda Crowe
