So the question being answered is how do we bring this back home?
And a big reason is something that's become very clear based on our recent surveys.
Cost and efficiency are driving US biotech and drug manufacturers to look overseas.
Time is a big piece.
The average wait between a pre-IND meeting request and an actual IND submission in the United States is 380 days.
Other countries like China simply get there faster.
From the directly from the proposal, quote, too often the US pathway can be measured in years, while other countries' pathways are measured in months.
So, what's actually in the proposal?
The FDA is standing up an expedited IND pilot, building a network of qualified research institutions and a real-time rolling review platform, targeting a 6 to 12 month cut in early trial timelines.
There's also draft guidance saying that in the right cases, a single high-quality trial with confirmatory evidence can support approval.
These are real concrete steps toward modernization, and something Incubate and the Making Medicine podcast have been talking about for the last year.
The conversation in Washington and in the ecosystems that follow it talk about staying ahead of China and keeps circling back to sometimes troublesome ideas.
An idea like restricting the flow of capital and putting in outbound investment limits.
Ideas about can we wall China off?
But proposals like Operation Trialblazer, in our view, are the better model.
We're not going to win this race by stopping American investors from chasing the best operational efficiency.
The way we keep the U.S.
the global leader is by making us faster, more attractive, and the best place on earth to develop that science.
That's where we want the administration and Congress to put this energy.
Build a better ecosystem, investment will follow and stay here.
