FY27 FDA Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Advanced Research and Development of Regulatory Science
FDA will fund extramural basic and applied research and development proposals that advance regulatory science and innovation in topic areas defined in the BAA.
⚑ Federal contract/BAA procurement action rather than a grant; applicants should follow FAR/BAA proposal requirements. · Broad agency announcement for R&D in regulatory science; exact topics and subareas are defined within the BAA. · Award ceiling not stated.
This is an FDA regulatory science BAA, which is mainly biomedical/clinical and technical R&D rather than this team’s social-behavioral survey, policy, hazard communication, or education-evaluation portfolio. Even though it mentions public health, it does not map onto any of IPPRA’s core research lines in a PI-level way.
