Frequently Asked Questions
What You Need to Know
How does the membership provide value when the resources are already available (eg, on health authority websites)?
RAVEN membership saves the time and effort involved with searching for all applicable tools/reference documents, and also the worry that any versions you may have handy are actually now out of date. This membership maintains a collection of easily organized resources for your use at all times.
Will this membership be beneficial if I am already a member of RAPS, TOPRA or DIA, etc?
Yes! Although there are many useful resources available through other memberships, the RAVEN resources are organized by topic and influenced by the team, so you will have more efficient access to what you need.
Are ALL of the FDA, ICH and EMA guidances and guidelines included on this website?
Not every single guidance is provided here. This is intentional. Instead, RAVEN researchers focus on the most important topics and seek to provide a comprehensive listing of all of the most RELEVANT guidance documents, tools and templates for each selected topic. ("Collecting only the best." is our motto!) Members work together to identify new topics or tools, so we are constantly evolving.
Can I provide links and references that I would like to see added to the site?
Yes! If you have located a resource that you feel is helpful, please submit it via the RAVEN suggestion page and it will be reviewed by our team and considered for posting. Additionally, you can even suggest new topics/pages to add!
Did you know that the having the word "Regulatory" before RAVEN, in "Regulatory RAVEN", is actually redundant? (You have Regulatory in there twice.)
Yes, but it just sounds better this way! :)
