Workshop Agenda

Strengthening a Workforce for Innovative Regulatory Science in Therapeutics Development: An Institute of Medicine Workshop

September 20-21, 2011

National Academy of Sciences
Keck Building, Room 100
500 Fifth Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20001

Background:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has defined regulatory science as the science of developing new tools, standards and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality and performance of FDA-regulated products (FDA, 2010). The FDA Science Board, in Science and Mission at Risk (FDA Science Board, 2007), described regulatory science as a science-based decision-making process needed to fulfill the responsibilities of a public health agency: “FDA must have the scientific staff and resources to undertake the regulatory research that will provide a basis to: (1) improve capacity for safety and efficacy evaluations and monitoring of candidate and licensed products; (2) modernize current regulatory pathways; and (3) develop new regulatory pathways where there are currently none.” According to the report, this capacity is important because “decisions made in regulation development, pre-market approvals, legal actions and

related public health emergencies must be based on understanding of contemporary and emerging science within the context of the risk analysis paradigm.” A number of gaps in the regulatory science discipline and infrastructure have been identified. They include workforce and resource constraints; cultural differences and systemic barriers to collaboration and exchange among the agency, academia, and industry; and deficiencies in the network and infrastructure necessary to forge the collaboration and communication needed to advance regulatory science. There has been recognition that collaborative approaches are necessary to advance regulatory science. In early 2010, FDA and NIH announced a unique collaboration, with establishment of a joint FDA-NIH leadership council to enable cross-agency efforts to improve regulatory science.

This workshop will explore issues related to strengthening a workforce for innovative regulatory science in therapeutics development. The workshop will (1) consider opportunities and needs for advancing innovation in the discipline of regulatory science for therapeutics development through an interdisciplinary regulatory science workforce and (2) examine specific strategies for developing a discipline of innovative regulatory science through development of a robust workforce within academia and industry and at FDA.

Meeting Objectives:

•   Define and discuss the current regulatory science workforce, with particular attention to discussion of the disciplines involved and professional training opportunities.

—   Identify gaps between the essential components of a workforce that will produce innovation in regulatory science and the current reality.

•   Consider workforce development needs in areas identified as key components of a robust discipline of innovative regulatory science in therapeutics development.

•   Examine application and advantages of collaborative (multisector and multidisciplinary) approaches for strengthening of a robust national regulatory science workforce.

—   Identify and discuss specific opportunities for enhancing collaboration and coordination—among relevant federal programs and between FDA and the extramural community—to strengthen a regulatory science workforce supporting innovation in therapeutics development.

—   Identify barriers to implementation of collaborative models, and discuss potential solutions to address those identified barriers.

•   Explore the resources and stakeholder engagement needed, not only within FDA and other federal agencies, but also throughout

The development and application of regulatory science - which FDA has defined as the science of developing new tools, standards, and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of FDA-regulated products - calls for a well-trained, scientifically engaged, and motivated workforce. FDA faces challenges in retaining regulatory scientists and providing them with opportunities for professional development. In the private sector, advancement of innovative regulatory science in drug development has not always been clearly defined, well coordinated, or connected to the needs of the agency. As a follow-up to a 2010 workshop, the IOM held a workshop on September 20-21, 2011, to provide a format for establishing a specific agenda to implement the vision and principles relating to a regulatory science workforce and disciplinary infrastructure as discussed in the 2010 workshop.
