First revision of the Guide on Methodological Standards in Pharmacoepidemiology On 13 June 2012 the ENCePP Steering Group adopted the first revision of the Guide on Methodological Standards in Pharmacoepidemiology. The revised guide continues to offer a single overview document and web resource for methodological guidance for both experienced and new researchers in pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacovigilance. For each topic covered, direct electronic access is given to internationally agreed recommendations and key points from important guidelines, published articles and textbooks after an introductory review. The focus is on scientific rather than regulatory guidance although relevant legislation and good pharmacovigilance practice are cited, where appropriate. Where relevant, gaps in guidance in areas important to collaborative pharmacoepidemiology research have been addressed with what ENCePP considers good practice. The guide is specified as a reference to be consulted in the Good Pharmacovigilance Practice (GVP) modules on post-authorisation safety studies and risk management plans. For more information see: |

Notice of Call for Expressions of Interest for Drug Safety StudiesThe validity of the shortlist which was established via Call for Expressions of Interest ref. EMEA/2009/62/PHP will expire in July 2012. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has therefore launched a new Call for Expressions of Interest with a view to drawing up a list of potential contractors who may be invited to reply to specific invitations to tender in the future. The purpose of this call is to enable the EMA to obtain fast and reliable answers to questions on safety or benefit:risk concerns, and ultimately facilitating regulatory decision-making. The scope of the funding is not restricted to research into the safety of centrally authorised products. The estimated budget per study will be between €50,000 and €130,000. Applications may be submitted anytime before 2 January 2015. The shortlist arising from this procedure will be valid until 2 April 2015.
