The NCTR conducts FDA mission-critical, peer-reviewed research that is targeted to develop a more scientifically sound basis for regulatory decisions and reduce risks associated with FDA-regulated products to protect, promote and enhance America's public health. This involves fundamental and applied research specifically designed to understand the mechanisms of toxicity, assess new product technology and provide methods for use in FDA standards development and product risk surveillance.
Scientific papers and technical reports are produced by the NCTR. Items published by NCTR include the Annual Research Accomplishments and Plans document, as well as a quarterly newsletter, "NCTR Quarter Page", which are available online and by mail. An on-line journal entitled "Regulatory Research Perspectives" is also available.
