Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The Translational Science Interagency Fellowship (TSIF) program is a three-year postdoctoral fellowship opportunity jointly sponsored by the National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The program aims to provide training in both translational science and regulatory science. The common goal of NCATS and the FDA is to bring safe and effective drugs, regimens, and devices from bench-to-bedside as quickly and efficiently as possible. To that end, fellows are trained in preclinical translational science, technology development, and regulatory research and review. By combining training in translational science and research-related regulatory review, the program enables fellows to build awareness of regulatory requirements into the early stages of medical product development thereby improving efficiencies in both the development and review processes. Fellows in this program will develop valuable skills for future careers in academia, the pharmaceutical industry, and government. |
