As part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), CDER regulates over-the-counter and prescription drugs, including biological therapeutics and generic drugs. This work covers more than just medicines.
This project seeks to evaluate trends in advanced manufacturing technologies and the future of quality systems for pharmaceutical manufacturing. The project will also examine research activities across OPQ to learn from past and current research outcomes. The participant will learn to gather, search and manage data in a database, evaluate research outcomes and impact on OPQ’s mission, develop presentations and other communications for a variety of audiences, and collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams.
This program, administered by ORAU through its contract with the U.S. Department of Energy to manage the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, was established through an interagency agreement between DOE and FDA.

The participant will receive a monthly stipend commensurate with educational level and experience. Proof of health insurance is required for participation in this program. The appointment is full-time at FDA in the Silver Spring, Maryland, area. Participants do not become employees of FDA, DOE or the program administrator, and there are no employment-related benefits.
