Purpose

In 2023, NICHD formed the PRGLAC Implementation Working Group of Council to monitor and report on the implementation of recommendations for improving knowledge and research on safe and effective therapeutics for pregnant and lactating people. The recommendations came from the congressionally mandated, NICHD-led PRGLAC, established as part of the 21st Century Cures Act.

The current PRGLAC Implementation Working Group of Council will host this series of meetings on implementation activities, with the anticipated goal of presenting updates and findings to NACHHD Council in June 2024.

Individuals who need any other reasonable accommodations to participate in this activity should contact Emma Carpenter at emma.carpenter@nih.gov at least 5 days in advance.
