Create unified ADRG standard for R submissions

[nanxstats]

I propose we work together to create a common, unified ADRG content standard and templates for R submissions. This could help simplify work for everyone:

• Sponsors would have guidance on how R-specific sections in ADRG should be constructed and what to include. Searching "ADRG" on the submission WG website shows 17 results from past meetings - there are surely some confusions out there.
• Reviewers would have clear expectations for the R submission ADRG generated across sponsors, and with a level of consistency, they can standardize their review workflow and save time.

The following is a relevant email from Chris Price
Hi Joe, All

The ADRG template, referenced in the FDA TCG, is a PHUSE product and we have a process for updating these so that they can continue to be referenced. The team has already started work on including content for open source submissions and would value input from R Consortium Working Groups and members into any necessary updates/enhancements. R Consortium may find more value in contributing to the PHUSE effort rather than duplicating effort on a stand-alone R Consortium template.

Kind regards

Chris

This was a nice scrapping code from Pilot 4 for getting all package versions and description from renv

Sam Parmar kindly shared some (WIP) Quarto templates in the working group meeting today: https://github.com/parmsam/quarto-adrg

Looks like an "open source metadata documentation" working group has been formed: https://phuse-org.github.io/OSDocuMeta/

I think that is the one @laxamanaj (from Pilot 3) is involved with

Hi, @ALL.

Yes, a PHUSE WG has been formed to work on this, but we definitely welcome input from everyone involved in these R Consortium R Submissions WG Pilots as we've now delivered ADRGs in the last 3 Pilots. Currently, I am co-leading this effort with https://github.com/Lovemore-Gakava . We are brainstorming gradual steps to begin templatizing the ADRG for Open-source submissions and will seek your input in the near future.
