28. CBER Strategic Plan: 2004Vision Statement CBER advances the public health and merits the public trust through high quality science-based regulation to ensure that safe and effective products reach the public as rapidly as possible. CBER demonstrates international leadership in regulation through development of innovative regulatory strategies and standards, a managed regulatory process, coordinated research, and the use of partnerships.
29. CBER Vision: 2004 To that end:
We will have implemented a managed and integrated regulatory process from discovery to postmarketing.
Our research will serve as a critical public health resource which is linked to scientific evaluation of traditional and novel products.
30. CBER Strategic Goals2004 A high quality regulatory process which is managed and integrated from discovery through post marketing
A high quality research program which contributes directly to the regulatory mission
A high quality diverse work force
Interactive information systems that are integral to all CBER activities
Leveraged resources
