Chief Scientist Publication Award for Translational or Applied Science
Publications that: a) describe the development and translation of technology to further regulatory science; b) applies scientific knowledge to develop practical technology or inventions or c) bridge the gap between fundamental academic science and real-world health care applications. Nominations must have an FDA staff member as the first or last author on the manuscript which must have been accepted or published in a reputable, peer reviewed journal in the last fiscal year.
