Team Mission and Scope 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 Guide) versions and their alignment with the SDTM. Production releases of the SEND standard:

SEND Team Structure and Operations • Core Team membership is open to all interested parties with over eighty-five members currently. • Sub-teams formed to manage long-term subject areas. • Change Control Board (CCB) assesses and recommends action on changes requested regarding the production SEND IG. • SEND Leadership Team (SLT) sets direction for the team, with representation from the CDISC TLC. • Work-Streams initiated by the SLT and CCB for all tasks that are not within the scope of the aforementioned sub-teams and expected to have a clear start and end (ie, shorter term need). | ||||||
SEND Work-Stream Leaders and Cross-team Integrators 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.
