9-Hour Preparing IND/IDE Submissions: How to Organize, Write, Submit, and Track Submissions

9-Hour Preparing IND/IDE Submissions: How to Organize, Write, Submit, and Track Submissions is organized by Barnett International and will be held from Jan 20 - Feb 24, 2026.

Course Description:
Enhance your regulatory affairs skills and advance your career with our comprehensive training program designed for both new and experienced regulatory professionals in the pharmaceutical and device industries.

Your regulatory department serves as the key contact with regulatory agencies. Individuals within the regulatory department prepare development plans and documents, maintain Agency communications, address inquiries, schedule meetings, construct marketing applications and submit updates in a concise and informative manner. Agency submissions require strategy, editing, publishing and information tracking. During drug and device development, a key step is to begin one or more clinical trials and each trial typically requires an Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application negotiated with the FDA prior to study start.

This course combines lectures, case studies, and exercises to teach new and experienced regulatory professionals how to navigate the regulations, interpret the guidance documents, and how to use a style guide when writing technical documents like the IND or IDE. The goal for this training to support fully compliant and clear submissions and to avoid as many questions as possible during the IND/IDE process.

The ability to construct drug labels and approval summaries will be discussed as part of the IND/IDE process. Learners will also gain experience developing timeline management tools and coordinating contributor submissions for each of the IND/IDE sections.

Prior to the start of the course, participants will receive their login credentials and links to access and download the many class resources and class meeting links. Upon course completion, participants will be provided training certificates. In order to receive accreditation CEUs, participants are required to pass both a mid-term and final exam. Upon completion of the exams, CEU certificates will be provided.
