FDA Science Forum to Target Role of Scientific Research in Regulatory Decision Making

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will host a public
workshop titled “FDA Science Forum 2015” on May 27-28 in Silver
Spring, Maryland. The focus of the event will be highlighting science
conducted at FDA, the role that research plays in informing regulatory
decision making and providing a forum for collaborations with external
organizations. The agency’s eight Regulatory Science priority areas
include (i) ensuring FDA’s readiness to evaluate innovative emerging
technologies, (ii) implementing a prevention-focused food safety system
and (iii) strengthening social and behavioral science to help consumers
and professionals make informed decisions about regulated products.
