2025 FRPath® Reliance Survey

FRPath® 2025 Annual Reliance ROI Survey

The annual perception survey of the return on investment of the use of regulatory reliance pathways

Regulatory reliance pathways for marketing authorizations are playing a growing, important role in facilitating access to important medicines. Perceptions of their value and return on investment of time and effort (for both the agency and the sponsor) can vary. And identifying the drivers of their success remains a topic of study.

Please help the FRPath® project (a project of the non-profit Erudee Foundation www.erudee.org) learn more about how to optimize these pathways by participating in this simple anonymous 2-question poll. The more responses the better! Results will be posted periodically on LinkedIn and FRPath.org's website.
