　　　The sponsors of the pharmaceutical industry are encouraged to discuss with CDE throughout the R&D process. CDE provides free scientific advices according to the specific need of each individual sponsor. The sponsor may apply for the consultation via the internet or by phone ( 886-2-81706000 ext 888). After receiving the necessary information, CDE will provide the response via written opinions (e-mail, fax or letters), telephone communication or face-to-face meetings within one month.
