Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) Guidance Documents Under Development

(Expected to publish as drafts or finals by the end of December 2024.)

Introduction

The following list of guidance topics includes possible new topics for guidance documents or revisions to existing guidance documents that the CVM is considering. We currently intend to develop guidance on each topic; however, the Center is neither bound by this list of topics, nor required to issue every guidance document on this list. We are not precluded from developing guidance documents on topics not on this list. This list includes Compliance Policy Guides.
