FDA has launched a new[ pilot program](https://www.fda.gov/drugs/guidances-drugs/guidance-snapshot-pilot?ref=fdaweb.com) to simplify public awareness about guidance documents that seek to modernize drug clinical trials and accelerate drug development.

- Explanation of why the guidance document is important
- Highlights from the guidance document
- Educational background about the guidance topic
- Link to document
- Drug development timeline for when to apply the guidance recommendations
- Podcast that describes highlights and background the guidance document explained directly from the authors
- Twitter hashtags to create a platform for discussing views on the guidance
- Link to the FDA docket for providing official comments (for applicable draft guidances)
