The mission of the University of South Florida IND/IDE Assistance Program is to provide education to Sponsor-Investigators who plan to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulated clinical research. The USF IND/IDE Assistance Program is available to USF faculty researchers.

The USF IND/IDE Assistance Program is currently being re-developed to meet the needs of our research community. We can currently only offer an educational consultation via our Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement Program.
