Food and Drug Administration Advisory Committees, Paperback / softback Book

Food and Drug Administration Advisory Committees Paperback / softback

Edited by Richard A. Merrill, Laurence E. Earley, Richard A. Rettig

Paperback / softback

Description

Like many other agencies of the federal government, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) relies extensively on external advisory committees for independent scientific and technical advice. Recognizing that the existing advisory committee system is essentially sound, this volume recommends ways of enhancing the use of these committees in the evaluation of drugs, biological materials, and medical devices; strengthening the agency's management of the system; and increasing the accountability of the system to the public. In doing so, it examines and makes recommendations on such issues as the recruitment of committee members, the FDA's management of financial conflict of interest and intellectual bias among members, and the operations and management of the advisory committee system.
