Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Relocates
CBER will move to the FDA White Oak campus in Silver Spring, Maryland.
In an effort to consolidate, FDA is moving the offices and laboratories of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) from their current locations in Bethesda and Rockville, Maryland to the FDA White Oak campus in Silver Spring, Maryland. Most offices will commence moving on or about April 25, 2014, and will complete the move on or about May 18, 2014. Laboratories and remaining offices are scheduled to move in late June through August. In order to facilitate continuity of operations, one division, the Division of Biological Standards and Quality Control, within the Office of Compliance and Biologics Quality, will remain in its present location in Kensington, Maryland and move after processes assuring the availability of 2014-2015 seasonal influenza virus vaccine are completed.
