The R Consortium R Submissions Working Group continues to help move regulatory submissions with R from concept to practical implementation.
In Pilot 4, the group explored WebAssembly and Docker containers for packaging and running an R Shiny app for regulatory review.
FDA feedback showed both approaches are technically feasible, highlighting practical needs around reproducibility, security, reviewer usability, and operational readiness.

R Consortium working groups are a practical on-ramp into the R community: open collaboration, technical contribution, and domain-specific work - often without needing to be from an R Consortium member company.
The nlmixr2 working group has a new post on an invited seminar with FDA quantitative clinical pharmacology reviewers, covering open source tools, regulatory review, reproducibility, model interchange, and reviewer-friendly workflows.
