1-1 - INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the organizational structure of the offices involved in compliance related functions within FDA. It is not the intent to provide a complete description of FDA's organizational structure. FDA’s functional statement for each office may be found in various chapters of FDA’s Staff Manual Guide (SMG). This guide is available on FDA’s Intranet Website.

This Regulatory Procedures Manual (RPM) chapter is divided into sections based on major organizational units, and includes a section for all centers and the Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA).
