The Parenteral Drug Association (PDA), the leading global provider of science, technology and regulatory information and education for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical community, announced that 31 of its Training and Research Institute (TRI) courses are now listed with the US General Services Administration (GSA) under a Federal Supply Schedule contract.
The 31 courses will be included on the GSA Advantage, GSA’s online shopping and ordering system https://www.gsaadvantage.gov/advantage/main/start_page.do). This will improve the visibility of these PDA TRI courses to federal officials and make it easier for them to participate. Over the years, PDA TRI has conducted numerous training courses specifically designed for officials at the US Food and Drug Administration. In addition, FDA officials have participated in TRI’s regular course offerings.
“By adding 31 courses to the GSA Federal Supply Schedule, employees of the US Federal Government will have an easier time participating in the unique, world class training courses in the PDA TRI facilities and lecture courses,” says PDA president Richard Johnson.
The courses are listed under Special Item Numbers (SINs) 874-4: Training Services. They are:
