Abstract: The FDA Commissioner's Fellowship Program (CFP) collects applications online annually in the spring so that the program can access and provide this information to the preceptors when reviewing their candidates. The CFP also provides the records to FDA Human Resources (HR) so that they can work to hire the new fellows each fall. Collecting applications for the CFP will allow FDA's Office of the Commissioner to easily and efficiently elicit and review information from students and health care professionals who are interested in becoming involved in FDA-wide activities. The process will reduce the time and cost of submitting written documentation to the Agency and lessen the likelihood of applications being misrouted within the Agency mail system. It will assist the Agency in promoting and protecting the public health by encouraging outside persons to share their expertise with FDA.
