The National Institutes of Health will award $9.4 million during 3 years to support four research projects in regulatory science. This research is conducted in partnership with FDA, which will contribute approximately $950,000. These projects will better inform scientists and regulatory reviewers alike about medical product safety, and improve the evaluation and availability of new medical products to the community.

The projects include research on nanoparticles (extremely small molecules that may be used to deliver drugs in a targeted manner) and their characterization, a heart-lung model to test the safety and efficacy of drugs, innovative clinical trial design, and a novel strategy to predict eye irritation.

"These four projects were chosen among many applications because they were the most meritorious proposals for addressing high priority areas in cutting-edge biomedical research and regulatory science. This partnership marks the beginning of our work with FDA
