The Specialty Crops Regulatory Assistance (SCRA) is organizing a virtual workshop June 8-9, 2021, to discuss the practical aspects of developing dossiers on genetically engineered crops for submission to U.S. regulatory agencies.
To be commercialized and grown in the United States, genetically engineered crops go through an extensive food, feed, and environmental safety assessment process, which in certain instances, requires complex consultations with three different U.S. regulatory agencies.
The Nuts and Bolts workshop presents an opportunity for public sector scientists and public or private crop developers to spend two days with regulatory officials from the three agencies and learn the specifics of putting together an actual dossier for regulatory approval.
- Title: Nuts and Bolts of U.S. Regulatory Dossiers for Genetically Engineered Products
- Virtual event, accessible from anywhere

- Tuesday, June 8: 10:00 am – 5:30 pm EDT
- Wednesday, June 9: 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm EDT

The workshop is an opportunity for small and large companies, academics, and other potential developers to learn from USDA-APHIS, EPA and FDA officials about the specifics of putting together actual dossiers for regulatory review, based on real case studies.
By focusing on actual case studies, the workshop is designed to simplify and demystify data requirements and regulatory dossier. Case studies to be presented:
