Success Story Highlight
The Department of Veterans Affairs and Food and Drug Administration have announced a collaboration that aims to accelerate the time it takes for medical innovations to reach Veterans and non-Veterans alike by equipping innovators with standardized tools to help test the safety and efficacy of their products during development.
Working side by side, FDA staff will co-locate with VA staff at the VA Ventures Innovation Institute in Seattle. FDA staff will focus on the regulatory science — the science for evaluating the benefits and risks of new products — while VA staff will provide clinical context for test development, hands-on training for product developers and other immersive experiences.
