In 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as part of an on-going interagency partnership, funded A-TRAC 1.0. After a successful five-year program, they funded A-TRAC 2.0 in 2018. The following is a collection of publications from the on-going A-TRAC project.
