Regulatory Science

Overview

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines Regulatory Science as “the science of developing new tools, standards, and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of all FDA-regulated products.” The FDA has launched a number of programs to enhance the translation of research into products that benefit patients and improve the success rate of safe and effective products.
