About the FDA Data Dashboard

On January 21, 2009, President Obama issued the Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government instructing agencies to take specific actions to implement the principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration.  To that end, the FDA has since published various datasets to include compliance data on FDA.gov.  In addition to disclosing new data, the FDA has explored several methods to display data, increase usability, and improve the overall user experience.

The Data Dashboard is designed to support the understanding, accountability, and analysis of public FDA data through easy to use, visually accessible, customizable, and understandable graphics. The underlying data used to generate the dashboard graphs are based upon transparency datasets and other data already available to the public through FDA.gov. The current datasets and data include the Inspection Database and selected data elements from the compliance, enforcement, and import related information on FDA.gov. The Dashboard may expand to incorporate future datasets based upon need and user feedback.

Tools for Using the Dashboard

The caveats and disclaimers provide guidance on the data being reported, data limitations and information on what the data represents. All source data used to create the graphical representations are pulled from FDA’s transactional systems and subject to change.
