Check It Out: Newly Redesigned FDA-TRACK Dashboard Pages
FDA’s performance management system, FDA-TRACK, allows the public to follow the agency’s progress on a range of measures (see April 7 blog post).
We redesigned FDA-TRACK! It has been a little over one year since the launch of the FDA-TRACK website. After collecting web traffic data during this time, we decided to make some changes to the dashboard pages in hopes of improving your experience. The changes include:
- Cleaner look-and-feel;
- Charts and options to overlay related measures;
- XML downloads; and
- “FDA-TRACK Indices” by program area, for easier access navigation to specific content.
Check out these before and after shots:

What is FDA-TRACK?
FDA has posted a video explaining FDA-TRACK, the performance management system the agency launched in April (see April 7 blog post). FDA-TRACK is a web resource that provides information about the breadth of FDA's activities to promote and protect the public health.
The video features FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner, Dr. Joshua Sharfstein and FDA Center Directors Drs. Bernadette Dunham and Janet Woodcock. View the video below, then check out the information currently available on FDA-TRACK about FDA's progress on a range of activities and let us know what you think.
FDA Launches a New Website to Make Information about the Work of FDA’s Program Offices Available
Today, FDA launched a new website that will help the public understand the breadth of FDA's core responsibilities to promote and protect the public health. The website is called FDA-TRACK: Agency-wide Program Performance. FDA-TRACK is FDA's new agency-wide performance management and accountability tool.
The FDA-TRACK website will allow you to gain insights about:
- Each of our program offices and what they do
- Each program office's key performance goals and projects
On a quarterly basis, each FDA program office will submit monthly performance data and present that information to FDA senior leadership. This information will be posted on the FDA-TRACK website and the public can track this information and monitor the accomplishments and trends for each key program area.
Visit the FDA-TRACK website resource at http://www.fda.gov/fdatrack and let us know what you think. You can suggest changes and let us know if you found the information to be useful by emailing FDATRACK@fda.hhs.gov. Feedback you provide may be used to improve the program.
