Summary
IND Submissions: A Primer provides a "hands-on" approach that teaches regulatory professionals - novice and veteran alike - to work with the regulations, guidance documents, content templates, contributing authors, and style guides necessary to write an IND. The book's writing tips show regulatory professionals how to produce a range of U.S. drug and biologics submissions that comply with the requirements and are also clear to read. Included with the book is a CD filled with electronic examples.
IND Submissions: A Primer is the only comprehensive IND manual of its kind. This 600-page, spiral-bound, hardcover book is easy to use, providing step-by-step instructions on how to plan, write, and submit regulatory documents.

It is the ideal resource for new professionals entering the field, a useful training guide, and a valuable reference for the experienced professional.
Specific topics include:
- Regulations and guidance document references
- Overview and background of why the submission is required
- Structure of the submission itself
