## What the grant funds

The FDA hosts the Centers of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (CERSI) Program to foster robust and innovative approaches to advance regulatory science, and the goal is for the CERSIs to advance regulatory science individually and synergistically, under the CERSI Program led by the Office of Regulatory Science and Innovation (ORSI), through collaborative interactions with FDA scientific experts and funding offices.
