[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety announced on the 15th that it will conduct a demand survey targeting the general public and industry-academia-research researchers until the 15th of next month to discover research and development (R&D) projects on 'technology related to the safety of food and drugs.'

The specific topics are related to food and drug safety, including ▲setting standards and specifications ▲safety evaluation ▲efficacy evaluation ▲risk assessment ▲testing and analysis technology ▲technology for risk prevention, risk factor reduction, and safety management throughout all processes from development to consumption of food and drugs.

In this demand survey, opinions will be collected by dividing into short-term R&D projects and mid- to long-term business planning research topics. Proposed items will be promoted as new R&D projects or used for policy discovery, considering the necessity and urgency of the research. Outstanding proposals among the suggested projects will also be awarded commendations.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety stated, "We will continue to transparently and fairly promote food and drug R&D projects that the public can empathize with, based on regulatory science expertise, and strive to secure food and drug safety in daily life to create a happy society for all."
