Mission

The Office of Economics and Analysis (OEA) provides public health, economic, and strategic analysis and evaluation to inform FDA’s policy and rulemaking decisions.

Major Functions

OEA advises and assists the Commissioner and senior leadership on the public health, social science, and economic implications of Agency programs, priorities, and initiatives.

We conduct economic, public health, social science, and operations research as a basis for analyzing and forecasting trends, needs, and major problems requiring solutions. We also provide assistance and consultation in these areas to FDA leadership and operating units. We evaluate impacts of external factors on Agency programs, including industry market dynamics, consumer expectations, and prospective legislation. OEA develops regulatory impact analysis for FDA’s rulemaking. OEA also leads the Agency’s engagement in GAO and OIG studies through timely clearance and transmission of requested information.

Office Divisions

OEA is led by the Associate Commissioner for Economics and Analysis, and it consists of two components: The Economics Staff and the Public Health Strategy and Analysis Staff.
