Priority Area 3: Support New Approaches to Improve Product Manufacturing and Quality

Inspectors testing new manufacturing technologies and manufacture of biological products

Application of new science and technologies is leading both to innovation in manufacturing and to innovative products that are often complex. To foster these innovations, FDA is conducting research – collaborating with industry and academia – to assess how these new technologies affect product safety, efficacy, and quality, and using the information to inform development of regulatory policy relevant to these innovations.

The BAA-funded research projects below aim to enable the development and evaluation of new and improved manufacturing methods; develop new analytical methods; and reduce the risk of microbial contamination of products.
