Contacts for Memoranda of Understanding Contacts for Partnerships with the FDA

FDA is interested in partnering with the stakeholders to further its public health mission. By leveraging resources and expertise, through appropriate mechanisms, FDA can effectively collaborate to address critical public health needs and bridge scientific gaps, thereby stimulating innovation in the products we regulate.

Collaborations with FDA can be formalized through multiple mechanisms including Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs), memoranda of understanding (MOUs), contracts, cooperative agreements, or through other public-private partnership mechanisms.

FDA will give preference to ideas and proposals that will enhance the delivery of mission-related FDA functions and that do not require funding from the FDA.
