SEND TeamStructureand Operations

SEND is one of the required standards for data submission to the FDA. Details on the requirements for the FDA are specified in the FDA’s Data Standards Catalog for IND, NDA, ANDA, and certain BLA submissions. For more information, please visit the FDA Guidance on Standardized Data.  

Team Mission andScope

The CDISC SEND team develops standards that support both the regulatory submission of nonclinical data as well as the operational use and exchange of nonclinical data throughout the industry.

This team is responsible for overall development and maintenance of the production SEND IG Implementation Guides (Implementation GuideIGs) versions and their alignment with the SDTM. 

Production releases of the SEND standard:

Collaborations

The SEND Team maintains representatives on the many CDISC cross-team initiatives.  SEND also maintains 2 - 3 seats on the CDISC governance.  

The SEND team partners with the INHAND organization for pathology-related terminology (http://www.toxpath.org/inhand.asp).

SEND also has a strong presence on the FDA/PhUSE Computational Sciences Symposium (CSS) (http://www.phuse.eu/css), including several leadership positions and significant overlap in membership with the Nonclinical Topics working group.

Operating Model

Full Team membership comprises all SEND members, with well over one hundred active members currently.
Subteams are

Core Team membership is open to all interested parties with over eighty-five members currently.

SEND Leadership Team (SLT) - sets direction for the team and is responsible to CDISC leadership for the SEND Team; consists of past, current, and future team leaders.
SEND Leadership Team - Extended (SLTX) assists in setting direction, with representation

SEND Work-Stream Leadersand Cross-teamIntegrators

Work-streams are initiated by the CCB or SEND leadership.

Leadership Mentors - To develop new leaders on the SEND team, an experienced SLTX member will co-lead or mentor a newer leader for any new Work-Streams. All Subteams and Work-streams are governed by the SLTX and all work is reviewed by the Core Team.
• Business Integrators - are individuals who have demonstrated expertise with alignment across all domains and are often needed to review key concepts early in their development. They typically have an understanding of the CDISC and SEND strategy and approaches to certain concepts and designs and will look at impact beyond a domain, across domains and even across multiple "child" IGs.  Such individuals will often be needed in specific sessions at F2F weeks. This includes the following individuals:

When a task, issue or group of issues is identified for a Work-Stream, by the SEND CCB, an experienced SEND member leads or mentors a newer leader for the Work-Stream and reports back to the CCB and Core Team until the topics reach closure.
