Event Info
Students at the Baltimore and College Park campuses of the University of Maryland are invited to participate in the University of Maryland Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation's (M-CERSI) "America's Got Regulatory Science Talent" Competition.
The competition will be held on the University of Maryland, Baltimore campus in Pharmacy Hall (20 Pine Street, Baltimore) on February 10, 2020 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Parking information is available here.
The competition aims to promote student interest in regulatory science - the science of developing new tools, standards and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality and performance of FDA-regulated products.
A participating team can include either an individual or any number of students, although each team member has to contribute to the proposed solution or the presentation. The presentation must be 5 minutes in duration or less. It may be as simple as a verbal description or may utilize AV materials. Creativity is encouraged. Proposed solutions should also aim to have high regulatory impact.
To participate, please email a completed Information Sheet to RegSciTalent@rx.umaryland.edu by January 30, 2020.
