The FDA's Strategic Plan of August 2011 "Advancing Regulatory Science at FDA" addresses in chapter 2 "Support of New Approaches to Improve Product Manufacturing and Quality " amongst others the implementation of Rapid Microbiological Methods.

The FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) in Rockville, MD, published a poster that considers rapid sterility testing and compares different modern methods with compendial methods. Seema Parveen, Simleen Kaur, James L. Kenney, William M. McCormick and Rajesh K. Gupta, researchers in the Division of Product Quality (DPQ) in the Office of Compliance and Biologics Quality (OCBQ) are working to reduce the expenditure of time for classic sterility testing by evaluating rapid microbial methods for sterility testing of biologicals.
