The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Human Foods Program (FDA’s HFP) has published a list of priority research, data, and method needs, which, if fulfilled, would help FDA better understand the underlying factors that may cause or contribute to health risks from HFP-regulated products.
FDA is providing its list of research, method, and data needs for researchers who may be interested in pursuing science that is useful to advancing food safety. The list may also be helpful for writing grants to agencies that fund food safety research; some of the listed priorities may be the subject of current research projects.
