The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) jointly sponsor the Translational Science Interagency Fellowship (TSIF) to provide training to fellows in translational science and regulatory science.
About TSIF
Our common goal with the FDA is to bring safe and effective drugs, regimens and devices from the bench to the bedside as quickly and efficiently as possible. Scientists who are knowledgeable about both preclinical translational science and regulatory science can help to achieve this goal.
To develop scientists with these essential skills, we created the TSIF program. This initiative provides training opportunities at both NCATS and FDA. By combining training in translational science and research-related regulatory review, the TSIF program enables fellows to build awareness of regulatory requirements into the early stages of medical product development, improving efficiencies in both the development and review processes. Fellows develop valuable skills applicable to future careers in academia, the pharmaceutical industry and government.
Fellows in the TSIF program are matched with an NCATS/FDA mentor pair to work on a specific project…
