Two CERSIs have been established in collaboration with Georgetown University and the University of Maryland to foster an innovative and thematically coherent approach to advance the field of Regulatory Science toward more effective and efficient product development and evaluation. CERSI efforts focus on promoting innovation in support of the development and evaluation of safe and effective products through training, applied collaborative science, professional development, and scientific exchanges. Internal FDA steering committees composed of scientific experts from multiple Centers at FDA and the Office of the Commissioner meet quarterly to guide the CERSIs and ensure their work is furthering the FDA mission by addressing the priority areas found in Advancing Regulatory Science at FDA - A Strategic Plan.
