About This Event

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is hosting a two-part meeting on October 16 (virtual) and October 26 (in person), 2023.

The meeting agenda includes an overview of the regulatory science pilot program and discussion of the program’s current status as it relates to the BsUFA III commitments. The public component of the meeting on October 16 will also include presentations and panel discussions by FDA staff as well as internal and external awardees conducting research projects under the BsUFA III regulatory science program. In addition, FDA staff will present updates to the BsUFA III regulatory science program research priorities made in response to stakeholder feedback on the research roadmap.

The second day of the meeting will be held in person at the FDA White Oak Campus. During this section of the meeting, invitees will participate in round table discussions focused on progress, feedback, and recommendations to improve regulatory impact of the demonstration projects outlined under the program’s research priorities.

Due to capacity limits, participation in the in-person portion of the meeting will be first come-first served and requires attendance at the webinar component.
