CERSI Research Projects
The CERSIs conduct cutting-edge regulatory science research with high public health impact aimed at development of new tools, standards, and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality and performance of FDA-regulated products. Many of these research projects are conducted in collaboration with FDA.
