SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA is an independent 501(c)(3) 
not-for-profit, organization created by Congress to advance the mission 
of FDA to modernize medical, veterinary, food, food ingredient, and 
cosmetic product development; accelerate innovation, and enhance 
product safety. With the ultimate goal of improving public health, the 
Foundation provides a unique opportunity for different sectors (FDA, 
patient groups, academia, other government entities, and industry) to 
work together in a transparent way to create exciting new research and 
engagement projects to advance regulatory science.
    The Foundation acts as a neutral third party to establish novel, 
scientific collaborations. Much like any other independently developed 
information, FDA evaluates the scientific information from these 
collaborations to determine how the Foundation projects can help the 
Agency to fulfill its mission.
    Foundation projects currently include: Innovation in Medical 
Evidence Development and Surveillance, a public-private partnership 
that allows researchers to study drug safety concerns of interest to 
public health; an Expanded Access Navigator that offers instructional 
material and resources for physicians, patients, and their caregivers 
on how to access investigational drugs outside of clinical trials; and 
a new joint Foundation and FDA regulatory science fellowship program.
