FDA Tobacco Regulatory Science Fellows

The NAM, along with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) have named the 2019-2020 class of FDA Tobacco Regulatory Science Fellows. Four individuals were selected through a highly selective national competition based on their exceptional, diverse professional qualifications to contribute to the work of CTP. The fellows will lead specific projects related to tobacco-product regulation, as well as actively participate in the development of CTP’s science-based public health strategies. The goal of the experience is to enrich the fellows’ understanding of tobacco products, including their health consequences, and provide opportunities to learn about and contribute to the tobacco regulatory activities of a prominent public health regulatory agency.
