    PrintTo help advance the science and improve our understanding of how best to develop safe and effective products for children, the FDA conducts regulatory science research projects and publishes manuscripts describing scientific advances. The FDA also helps by creating opportunities and public forums for stakeholders to meet to discuss challenging scientific issues related to pediatric product development and pediatric regulatory science.
